    High School Helium Atomic Structure: Ionization Speed Compared to Air

    Would helium take less time to ionize than air, because it expand faster when heated up?

    Undergrad Why does helium plasma react differently to electromagnets than air plasma?

    After a science fair experiment we have measured the similarities and differences of plasma created by air and helium. Our methodology is as follows. Methodology A(air): 1. Light a match and place it on a small raised surface inside a microwave 2. Cover the match with a glass bowl/beaker...

    Undergrad Is It Safe and Feasible to Create Plasma in a Microwave Using Helium Gas?

    Yes we have done the experiment with air, and it worked brilliantly just as we had expected

    Undergrad Is It Safe and Feasible to Create Plasma in a Microwave Using Helium Gas?

    For a science fair experiment me and my partner are working on creating plasma in a microwave.Our hypothesis is that if the manipulability of plasma is affected by the type of gas used, then plasma will react to magnetic fields differently depending on the gas that has been ionised. Because...

    High School Why do some sources say 3 states of matter and others say 5?

    For school my teacher told me there were 3 states of matter but the internet told me there were 5. Help?
