* * * * Heat is molecular motion The higher the heat in a substance the more rapidly its atoms or molecules are “vibrating” As we add heat molecular motion increases Conversely as molecular motion increases things get hotter Illustration: In a microwave we are accelerating the motion of water molecules to make whatever they are in hotter * By now you can probably surmise that to convert a gas to a plasma…….add energy in the form of heat……when the gas reaches a certain temperature it becomes ionized. When a gas becomes ionized it’s structure changes, causing this ionized gas to be a conductor
