A physical change is one that does not alter the chemical makeup of an Contents [hide] 1 The Main Idea Plasma is the most plentiful form of normal matter in the universe and is not visible to the human eye. It is a form of ionized gas that typically is created at several thousand degrees centigrade and, like a gas, it does not have a definite shape or volume. Plasma is created by stripping the electrons of an atom and thus leaves the nucleus charged, forming an ion. Plasma is most often seen in neon restaurant or business signs and is created whenever lighting strikes. 1.1 A Mathematical Model 1.2 A Computational Model 2 Examples 2.1 Simple 2.2 Middling 2.3 Difficult 3 Connectedness 4 History 5 See also 5.1 Further reading 5.2 External links 6 References The Main Idea[edit] State, in your own words, the main idea for this topic
