Source sentences:
text: These types of radiation are called “ionizing” radiation, because they have enough energy to knock an electron out of its orbit around an atom – creating an ion.
text: These radiation particles and rays carry enough energy to knock out electrons from atoms and molecules (such as water, protein, and DNA) that they hit or pass near.
text: When a particle or electromagnetic ray does not have sufficient energy to completely knock an electron off an atom, it can instead excite the electron to go to a higher energy level.
text: Ionizing radiation is any radiation (particles or electromagnetic waves) that carries enough energy to knock electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.
text: Radiation is generally classified ionizing or non-ionizing, based on whether it has enough energy to knock electrons off atoms that it interacts with, as well as being able to do lower-energy damage such as breaking chemical bonds in molecules.
text: Electrically charged particles produced in the nuclear processes can have sufficient energy to knock electrons out of the atoms or molecules of the medium, thereby producing ions.
text: Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to knock electrons out of atoms.
text: These radiation particles and rays carry enough energy to knock out electrons from atoms and molecules (such as water, protein, and DNA) that they hit or pass near.
