ionization
- n the condition of being dissociated into ions (as by heat or radiation or chemical reaction or electrical discharge)
the ionization of a gas - n the process of ionizing; the formation of ions by separating atoms or molecules or radicals or by adding or subtracting electrons from atoms by strong electric fields in a gas
ionization chamber
- n a measuring instrument that measures the amount of ionizing radiation
ionization tube
- n a measuring instrument that measures the amount of ionizing radiation
ionizing radiation
- n high-energy radiation capable of producing ionization in substances through which it passes
ionophoresis
- n the motion of charged particles in a colloid under the influence of an electric field; particles with a positive charge go to the cathode and negative to the anode
ionosphere
- n the outer region of the Earth's atmosphere; contains a high concentration of free electrons
iontophoresis
