   6. physics a state of matter in which charged particles
      such as electrons and atomi nuclei have sufficiently high
      energy to move freely, rather than be bound in atoms as in
      ordinary matter; it has some of the properties of a gas,
      but is a conductor of electricity.

         negative particles are approximately equal. plasmas are

         created in special laboratory apparatus.
