Plasma types refer to the different classifications or states of plasma, which is one of the four fundamental states of matter, alongside solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is formed when a gas is energized to the point that ionization occurs, meaning that electrons are stripped from atoms, resulting in a collection of charged particles: ions and free electrons. This gives plasma unique properties, including electrical conductivity, responsiveness to magnetic fields, and the ability to emit light.
