IPA: /ˈaɪənaɪz/
KK: /ˈaɪənaɪz/
Definition: To convert an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles, usually electrons.
Example: When exposed to radiation, some atoms can ionise and become charged particles.
IPA: /aɪəˈnaɪzɪŋ/
KK: /aɪəˈnaɪzɪŋ/
Definition: Describing a process that converts atoms or molecules into ions by adding or removing charged particles, often through the application of energy.
Example: The ionising radiation from the sun can affect electronic devices in space.
Example: The process of ionising air can create a conductive path for electricity.
IPA: /ˈaɪə.ni.əm/
KK: /ˈaɪəniəm/
Definition: A natural radioactive form of thorium with a mass number of 230, believed to be produced from the decay of actinium.
Example: Ionium is used in some scientific research related to radioactive isotopes.
IPA: /aɪˈoʊnɪzəbl/
KK: /aɪˈɒnəˌzaɪbəl/
Definition: Able to be changed into ions, which are charged particles.
Example: Salt is an ionizable substance that can break down into ions in water.
IPA: /aɪəˈnaɪzeɪʃən/
KK: /aɪəˈnaɪzeɪʃən/
Definition: The process of creating ions from atoms or molecules, often through heat, electricity, or chemical reactions.
Example: Ionization occurs when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a charged particle.
Definition: To change a substance into ions, either completely or partially.
Example: The process of ionizing the gas allowed it to conduct electricity.
IPA: /aɪˈoʊnaɪzɪŋ/
KK: /aɪˈoʊnaɪzɪŋ/
Definition: Able to create charged particles called ions.
Example: The ionizing radiation from the sun can affect our atmosphere.
Example: The process of ionizing the gas allows it to conduct electricity more easily.
IPA: /aɪˈɒnəmər/
KK: /aɪˈɒnəmər/
Definition: A type of polymer that contains ionic groups in some of its building blocks, which can affect its properties and behavior.
Example: The ionomer was used in the production of a new type of flexible packaging material.
IPA: /aɪˈɒnəfɔːr/
KK: /aɪˈɒnəfɔr/
Definition: A type of organic compound that helps move ions through cell membranes.
Example: Ionophores are used in research to study how ions pass through cell membranes.
IPA: /aɪˈɒnəˌsfɪə/
KK: /aɪˈɒnəˌsfɪr/
Definition: The region of the Earth's atmosphere where gases are ionized, affecting radio wave transmission, located between about 30 miles and the exosphere.
Example: The ionosphere plays a crucial role in radio communication by reflecting signals back to Earth.
