plasma. Is it just pieces of atoms? Is plasma? What's the physical matter or pre is it pre-atter? Is it is it the stuff that's smaller than matter and that's kind of flying around? How do I say this is plasma and this is not plasma? >> Yeah, pieces of atoms would be a good way to put it. But also, I mean, you can have molecules that become ionized is anything that has a charge. I guess I guess another way to think about it is just like is it neutral or does it have a charge? It has a charge.
