The thermosolutal instability of a partially-ionized plasma in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field is considered to include the frictional effect of collisions between ionized and neutral particles. The sufficient conditions for nonexistence of overstability are derived. The solute gradient and magnetic field introduce oscillatory modes in thermosolutal convection which were nonexistent in their absence. The magnetic field and stable solute gradient are found to have stabilizing effects, whereas the collisions between ionized and neutral particles is found to have destabilizing effect on thermosolutal instability of a partially ionized plasma.
