ioniseeruma
Ionization, also known as ioniseeruma in some languages, is the process by which an atom or molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons to form ions. This process can occur through various mechanisms, including thermal ionization, photoionization, and collisional ionization. In thermal ionization, atoms or molecules gain enough energy from heat to release electrons. Photoionization involves the absorption of a photon, typically ultraviolet or X-ray, which provides the necessary energy to eject an electron. Collisional ionization occurs when a charged particle collides with a neutral atom or molecule, transferring enough energy to ionize it.
Ionization is a fundamental process in many natural and artificial systems. In astrophysics, ionization plays a
The degree of ionization in a system can be quantified using the Saha ionization equation, which relates
