ionizes
Strips electrons away
Ionizes means converts atoms or molecules into ions by adding or removing electrons.
The process occurs naturally in lightning strikes and artificially in medical equipment and industrial processes.
Radiation ionizes air molecules.
The detector ionizes gas particles to measure radiation levels.
In chemistry, acids ionize when dissolved in water, releasing hydrogen ions.
