Question 14 • FL-2003350-Chemistry 1 Honors Sem 1 - Flex

Which is an example of a plasma that occurs in nature?

Answer
A
a burning tree
B
the radiant sun
C
a melting candle
D
an electric current

Explanation

Plasma is a very hot, electrically charged state of matter found naturally in stars. The Sun is made largely of plasma, so “the radiant sun” is the correct choice. A burning tree and a melting candle involve chemical changes, and an electric current is the flow of electric charge, not itself a plasma.
