Bookmark or Share- Radiation Studies: Ionizing Radiation | CDCIonizing radiation is a form of energy that acts by removing electrons from atoms and molecules of materials that include air, water, and living tissue. Ionizing radiation can travel unseen and pass through these materials. It is on the right side of the electromagnetic spectrum in the figure below.
- Ionization - WikipediaIonization (or ionisation specifically in Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand) is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes.
- Ionizing radiation - WikipediaIonizing radiation (US) (or ionising radiation [UK]), including nuclear radiation, consists of subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that have sufficient energy to ionize atoms or molecules by detaching electrons from them.
- Ionizing radiation and health effects - World Health Organization (WHO)Ionizing radiation is a type of energy released by atoms in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles. People are exposed to natural sources of ionizing radiation, such as in soil, water, and vegetation, as well as in human-made sources, such as x-rays in medical devices.
- Ionization | Definition, Examples, & Facts | BritannicaIonization is one of the principal ways that radiation, such as charged particles and X rays, transfers its energy to matter. In chemistry, ionization often occurs in a liquid solution. For example, neutral molecules of hydrogen chloride gas, HCl, react with similarly polar water molecules, H 2 O, to produce positive hydronium ions, H 3 O ...
