2. Ionisation
   Ionisation is the process where by an Atom or molecule gains or looses an Electron and thus becomes an Ion . Ionising Radiation has sufficient energy to be able to ionise atoms and molecules and thus produce ions.

4. Ionisation
   The process by which gas molecules are converted into positively and negatively charged particles called ions. This process occurs when an arc is struck between an electrode and the workpiece.

5. Ionisation
   The production of ions when an atom or group of atoms acquires or loses an electric charge. Making them positive or negative ions. High voltage conductors produce ionisation of the air surrounding the conductor and produce ions. There is some speculation that this mechanism could be capable of transferring toxic elements.

6. ionisation
   An atom or molecule is said to be ionised when it has gained or lost one or more electrons. If an atom or molecule gains an electron, it is negatively charged (see anion*); losing an electron makes it positive (see cation*).
