Facets:
value: by breaking molecular bonds
type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: When ionizing radiation passes through material such as air, water, or living tissue, it deposits enough energy to produce ions by breaking molecular bonds and displace (or remove) electrons from atoms or molecules.
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: Ionizing radiation can have enough energy to produce ions (molecules or atoms that are charged).
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.
