Ionization \I`on*i*za"tion\, n. (Elec. Chem.)
the process of converting neutral atoms or molecules into
ions. The process may occur by dissolving an ionic substance
in a dissociating solvent, such as water, or by adding or
subtracting an electron to or from an atom or molecule. The
latter process occurs, for example, in an electron beam in a
mass spectrometer and by interaction of substances with
{ionizing radiation}.
