nonionic

Without electrical charge

Nonionic describes molecules or substances that carry no electrical charge and don't dissociate into ions when dissolved.

The term appears most often in chemistry and cleaning products: nonionic surfactants are gentler detergents that work without ionizing, making them useful in sensitive applications like cosmetics and laboratory work.
