Source sentences:
text: They are ionizing simply because they have the energy to ionize atoms, thereby causing chemical reactions.
text: Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can literally knock the electrons out of any atom it strikes - ionizing the atom.
text: When the radiation has enough energy to ionize other atoms (i.e., remove negatively-charged particles called "electrons") in its path, it is referred to as "ionizing radiation.
text: Certain forms of radiation carry enough energy to ionize various atoms or molecules.
text: X-ray photons carry enough energy to ionize atoms and disrupt molecular bonds.
text: All forms of ionizing radiation have sufficient energy to ionize atoms that may destabilize molecules within cells and lead to tissue damage.
text: Non-ionizing radiation refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules.
text: The danger posed by lower energy UV radiation is derived from the ultraviolet photon ‘s power to alter chemical bonds in molecules, even without having enough energy to ionize atoms.
text: These properties derive from the ultraviolet photon’s power to alter chemical bonds in molecules, even without having enough energy to ionize atoms.
text: Properties and Applications X-ray photons carry enough energy to ionize atoms and disrupt molecular bonds.
