Assertion: ionizing radiation's energy | /r/CapableOf | ionize atom
Facets:
Source sentences:
text: While the latter give off ionizing radiation, meaning they have enough energy to ionize an atom or molecule and thus damage cell DNA resulting in cancer, RF radiation does not.
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: Non-ionizing radiation is relatively low-energy radiation that doesn't have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules.
text: The main difference between ionizing and nonionizing radiation is that ionizing radiation refers to types of radiation where the radiation carries enough energy to ionize atoms, whereas nonionizing radiation refers to types of radiation that do not carry enough energy to ionize atoms.
text: The main difference between ionizing and nonionizing radiation is that ionizing radiation refers to types of radiation where the radiation carries enough energy to ionize atoms, whereas nonionizing radiation refers to types of radiation that do not carry enough energy to ionize atoms.
text: They are ionizing simply because they have the energy to ionize atoms, thereby causing chemical reactions.
text: Non-ionizing radiation is a category of radiation that does not have enough energy to ionize molecules or atoms.
text: Non-Ionizing Radiation is relatively low-energy radiation that does not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules.
text: All forms of ionizing radiation have sufficient energy to ionize atoms that may destabilize molecules within cells and lead to tissue damage.
text: These properties derive from ultraviolet's power to alter chemical bonds, even without having quite enough energy to ionize atoms.
text: Non-ionizing radiation (or, esp. in British English, non-ionising radiation) means any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules - that is, completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule.
text: Radio waves, microwaves, and neutron radiation (an important application in fission and fusion) all fall under non-ionizing radiation, as their respective energies are too low to ionize atoms.
text: Non-Ionizing radiation does not carry enough energy to break molecular bonds and ionize atoms.
text: This type of radiation has sufficient energy to ionize atoms (usually creating a positive charge by knocking out electrons), thereby giving them the chemical potential to react deleteriously with the atoms and molecules of living tissues.
