Answer 2

C. parts of atoms in a fluorescent bulb as it lights up

Step-by-step explanation:

Plasma is the fourth state of matter. Plasma has some characteristics similar to gases, as it also has no fixed shapes or volumes, but has a very low density. Plasma is composed of free ions and electrons, formed from the removal of many or all electrons from the atoms that make up a gas. Plasma is not common on our planet, but we can find it in the parts of atoms in a fluorescent lamp that lights up.
