Diagram 3 Diagram 4

Which diagram represents a gas that has been ionized?
diagram 1
diagram 2
diagram 3

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Diagram 4

Explanation: Diagram 1 represents a state in which particles are closely packed , thus cannot be a representation of gas.

Diagram 2 represents a state in which particles are loosely packed , thus can be a representation of gas.

Diagram 3 represents a state in which particles are closely packed , thus can be a representation of a solid.

Diagram 4 represents a state in which particles are loosely packed , thus can be a representation of gas. It also represents the particles in ionized form. Particles are existing as ions bearing positive and negative charges.
