Plasma is the fourth phase of matter. Plasma is a mixture of negatively and positively charged particles.
The plasma of hydrogen is made up of proton and an electron. When the hydrogen gas is at high temperature then the electrons are separated from the protons in each hydrogen atom.

Hydrogen plasma is composed of protons and electrons that are separated due to high temperatures. This state of matter occurs when the energy input is sufficient to overcome the attraction between these charged particles. The resulting mixture provides unique properties, such as electrical conductivity.
