     Correct me if I'm wrong, but plasma is a state of matter where the matter has enough energy to ionise, correct? Alpha particles are essentially helium nuclei, meaning they're 2 protons and 2 neutrons, with a charge of 2+. That means they're technically ions, which I believe means they can qualify as plasma, technically

     An Alpha Particle is the electron-stripped nucleus of a Helium atom. Assuming that NBLE is an analog of Helium, then Plasma is essentially NBLE without its electrons, thus making it a rough analog of Alpha Radiation.

     Neptunium might be interesting. Which isotope would it be?

    Iodine also sounds interesting. Out of curiosity, how would Radon affect Water?

     

    EDIT: I got ninja'd. XD

    maybe having water absorb radon

     It would essentially contaminate Water. If this is possible, and Neptunium -237 this would be great for fusion especially in space projects. And in Neutron detection equipment. Neptunium's color Sunflower Blue. Iodine would be a Brown Orange sticky liquid, until in contact with Water.

    That's what Lead would do! Radon is essentially radiation.

     Did some quick Wiki-ing. Neptunium would decay into Plasma, Electrons, and... Lead, Uranium, or Polonium... Holy crap. Decay chains are complicated. :/

     They are. I'd say Neptunium decays into Isotope-Z, possibly Plutonium. Higgs Boson the God of Sub Atomic particles can nearly do anything. Based on @lorddeath's Higgs Boson particle in his mod. Color:Yellow Orange. Abbreviation:HIBO.

    plasĀ·ma
    ?plazm?
    an ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons in proportions resulting in more or less no overall electric charge, typically at low pressures (as in the upper atmosphere and in fluorescent lamps) or at very high temperatures (as in stars and nuclear fusion reactors).

    Alpha radiation does not act like a gas, first of all, secondly, the only time theres free electrons is if an alpha particle passes a particle, strips it of its electrons, and somehow doesnt pick them up itself.

    Alpha radiation is NOT plasma.

    Lightning is/contains plasma though

    Also i mean come on, plasma is a state of matter.

    I added Alpha Particles as a separate "element."

     

    How else should it react with things?

    Really alpha particles only ionize, theres no real reactions.

    Maybe it could destroy spark? (set its tmp to 0 or whatever so it turns back into its normal element)

    Another element idea: Oganesson-294, OGSN. This highly unstable element decays quickly into uranium, plutonium, and cesium, while releasing massive amounts of heat, neutrons and photons. It would have a light blue color. Also, as pressure increases, it becomes more stable, until it fully stabilizes at 200 pressure.
