why gas needs to be ionized before it can conduct electricity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for conduction of electricity you need CHARGES.. for example in conductors or metals.. you have free electrons.. (electrons weakly or you can say not bound to the nucleus so they can easily move) so in order to make a gas conduct you first ionize it to get charges.. once that is done they will conduct!
