Plasma Grenades only ever explode when they are stuck to something, Frags only explode after they have bounced once.
If you shot a frag on the ground, it would have already had to have bounced once, and would likely blow up in the same time it would take you to pull the trigger anyways. It cannot explode in the air, it has to hit the ground first.
If you shot a plasma on the ground, it still wouldn't do anything. A good throw would have already stuck to the enemy, and anyways plasma wouldn't explode if shot.
There is a technique where you use one plasma grenade to shoot another into the air, so it explodes mid flight.
