When we use the word "plasma", we are (usually) referring to a collection of atoms where the kinetic energy of the particles is sufficient to cause a significant fraction of the electrons to be ripped off of the atoms, leaving the electrons (and ions) free to move about. Typically, this occurs at temperatures higher than 10,000 degrees.
