Definitions for "Ionization"
the process of converting neutral atoms or molecules into ions. The process may occur by dissolving an ionic substance in a dissociating solvent, such as water, or by adding or subtracting an electron to or from an atom or molecule. The latter process occurs, for example, in an electron beam in a mass spectrometer and by interaction of substances with ionizing radiation.
Process of removal of the outermost electron(s) from an atom. Click here for more details.
Any process by which a neutral atom gains or loses electrons, thus acquiring a net charge. High temperatures, electrical discharges or nuclear radiations can cause ionisation.
