The hydrodynamic stability of a plasma with negative ions in a constant electric field is studied assuming that the negative ions are formed through the dissociative attachment of electrons to molecules. Calculations are carried out for situations in which charged particles recombine at the walls and in the interior. The instability growth rates are found for both situations; the instability thresholds are determined in terms of both the relative density of negative ions and the relative density of an easily ionizable admixture.
