In solids the individual particles are held tightly in some arrangement
In liquids the particles are held to each other but allowed to break the weak liquid bonds.
In gases the particles are allowed to move freely, and interact with each other when they contact.
How does this sort of thought describe plasma?

- With plasma the particles can move even more freely (than the particles in gases), and with quark-gluon plasma the particles move even more freely (than normal plasma). --User123o987name (talk) 06:18, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Adjectival usage
editI suspect that "plasma" has been used as an adjective multiple times. Something like "plasma hydrogen". "Plasma" has multiple means so finding these results is a bit challenging. Here is one:
- Reactor Designs
- There are currently a few designs for the reactors. One of those designs, the ARC (affordable, robust, compact) reactor relies on extremely powerful magnets to hold the plasma hydrogen in place. The energy that is possible to be extracted from a fusion reactor is strongly related to the strength of the magnetic field [3].
