what causes the generation of non-equilibrium plasma?
It must be explained by the following reasons.
1.why did the electronic get higher energy and why did the ion get fewer energy ?
2.what is the exchange of energy collision between electronic and ion or molecular ?

Solution

Plasma is an electrically neutral medium of unbound positive and negative particles (i.e. the overall charge of a plasma is roughly zero). It is important to note that although the particles are unbound, they are not ‘free’ in the sense of not experiencing forces. When a charged particle moves, it generates an electric current with magnetic fields; in plasma, the movement of a charged particle affects and is affected by the general field created by the movement of other charges. This governs collective behavior with many degrees of variation

Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas. A plasma has properties unlike those of the other states.

A plasma can be created by heating a gas or subjecting it to a strong electromagnetic, field applied with a laser or microwavegenerator. This decreases or increases the number of electrons, creating positive or negative charged particles called ions and is accompanied by the dissociation of molecular bonds.

The presence of a significant number of charge carriers makes plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic fields. Like gas, plasma does not have a definite shape or a definite volume unless enclosed in a container. Unlike gas, under the influence of a magnetic field, it may form structures such as filaments, beams and double layers.

Plasma is the most abundant form of ordinary matter in the Universe (of the forms proven to exist; the more abundant dark matter is hypothetical and may or may not be explained by ordinary matter), most of which is in the rarefied intergalactic regions, particularly the intracluster medium, and in stars, including the Sun. A common form of plasma on Earth is produced in neon signs.

Much of the understanding of plasma has come from the pursuit of controlled nuclear fusion and fusion power, for which plasma physics provides the scientific foundation.

when a molecule is distorted, electrons and ions get seperated in the process of collision. in this process electrons gain energy getting seperated and get higher energy where as ions loss energy with the loss of electron and thus get fewer energy.

The kinetic energy leads to a distortion of the molecule, which allows the molecule to overcome the dissociation barrier. thus, exchange of kinetic energy takes places during collisions between electron and ion or molecule.
