1. Plasma is a state of matter that is often thought of as a subset of gases, but the two states behave very differently. Plasma is made up of free-moving electrons and ions (charged atoms). So, the correct answer is B. Electrons and positive ions.

2. Electrode potential, also known as reduction potential, is the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and thereby be reduced. Each species has its own intrinsic reduction potential; the more positive the potential, the greater the species' affinity for electrons and tendency to be reduced.

- For Mg2+ + 2e- - Mg, the electrode potential E° = - 2.71 v. This means magnesium has a tendency to lose electrons (get oxidized) rather than gain electrons (get reduced).

- For Ag - Ag+ + 1e-, the electrode potential E° = - 0.8 v. This means silver also has a tendency to lose electrons (get oxidized) rather than gain electrons (get reduced). However, silver's tendency to lose electrons is less than that of magnesium, as indicated by its less negative electrode potential.
