Question

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLASMA AND BOSE EINSTEIN CONDENSATE

Answer 1

We know that Solid , liquid and Gas are the three states of matter. but, Scientists have discovered two more states of matter. These are : plasma and Bose - Einstein condensate.

Plasma :
------------------------------------

1) Plasma has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape.

2) Plasma often is seen in ionized gases. 

3) Plasma is distinct from a gas because it possesses unique properties. Free electrical charges (not bound to atoms or ions) cause plasma to be electrically conductive.

4) Plasma may be formed by heating and ionizing a gas.

5) examples of plasma are :- Stars, lightning, also inside the fluorescent lights plasma is present.

Bose- Einstein Condensate :
------------------------------------

1) Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose had done some calculations for a fifth state of matter.

2) Building on his calculations, Albert Einstein predicted a new state of matter – the Bose- Einstein Condensate (BEC). 

3) BEC is formed by cooling a gas of extremely low density.

4) Bose-Einstein condensate refers to the collapse of atoms into a single quantum state.

5) It is found at low temperatures when atoms are not able to move at all.

Answer 2

Answer:

These are really different forms of matter. Plasmas are gases of electrically charged particles, with equal amounts of both positive and negative charge. They behave a lot differently from ordinary gases because the electrical forces between the particles are strong, all the time. In a normal gas, the forces between the atoms or molecules are usually very weak, except when they occasionally collide.

A Bose-Einstein condensate (such as superfluid liquid helium) forms for reasons that only can be explained by quantum mechanics. There's a specific lowest energy state for the particles- say helium atoms. When the atoms become very cold, many of them go into that specific state. The behavior is a lot different from that of an ordinary fluid, in which there are plenty of different states for different particles.

Only certain types of particles, called bosons, can form Bose-Einstein condensates. The other type of particle- Fermions- can only have at most one particle in each state.

Plasmas tend to form at high temperature, since electrons then come off atoms leaving charged ions. Bose condensates form at low temperature, since at high temperatures more states are available to the atoms.
