Ionisation (medicine)


ionisation
<chemistry, radiobiology> Any process by which a neutral atom gains or loses electrons, thus acquiring a net charge, as the dissociation of a substance in solution into ions or ion production by the passage of radioactive particles.

High temperatures, electrical discharges or nuclear radiations can cause ionisation.
