At sufficiently high temperatures, the thermal speeds of gas molecules may be high enough that collisions may ionize a

molecule (that is, remove an outer electron). An ionized gas in which each molecule has lost an electron is called a

“plasma.” Determine approximately the temperature at which air becomes a plasma.
