ionizálódni

Ionizálódni is a Hungarian verb meaning to become ionized. Ionization is the physical process by which an atom or molecule acquires a net electrical charge. This occurs when an atom or molecule loses or gains electrons. Atoms and molecules are typically electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of positively charged protons in the nucleus and negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus. When an atom or molecule gains or loses one or more electrons, the balance between protons and electrons is disrupted, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.

Atoms or molecules that lose electrons become positively charged ions, also known as cations. Conversely, atoms or molecules that gain electrons become negatively charged ions, known as anions. This process can be triggered by various means, including the absorption of energy from radiation, collisions with other particles, or exposure to strong electric fields. Ionization is a fundamental process in many scientific disciplines, including chemistry, physics, and astronomy. It plays a role in phenomena such as the formation of plasma, the operation of fluorescent lights, and chemical reactions. The term "ionizálódni" specifically refers to the state of undergoing this transformation into an ion.
