ionized gas
Electrons stripped away
Ionized gas is gas in which atoms have lost or gained electrons, creating a mixture of charged particles.
This state of matter, called plasma, occurs at high temperatures or under strong electromagnetic fields.
Lightning, neon signs, and stars are all ionized gas.
The aurora borealis is caused by ionized gas in the upper atmosphere.
