If you have ever paddled a canoe, napped in a hammock, savored a barbecue, smoked tobacco or tracked a hurricane across Cuba, you have paid tribute to the Taino, taÃ­no The indians who invented those words long before they Welcomed Christopher columbus to The New world in. 1492
Ionization, in chemistry and physics, any process by which electrically neutral atoms or molecules are converted to electrically charged atoms or molecules (ions). Ionization is one of the principal ways that radiation, such as charged particles and X rays, transfers its energy to matter. 1  In chemistry, ionization often occurs in a liquid solution. 2  Ionization by collision occurs in gases at low pressures when an electric current is passed through them.
By definition, the first ionization energy of an element is the energy needed to remove the outermost, or highest energy, electron from a neutral atom in the gas phase. The process by which the first ionization energy of hydrogen is measured would be represented by the following equation.he second ionization energy of Mg is larger than the first because it always takes more energy to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than from a neutral atom. The third ionization energy of magnesium is enormous, however, because the Mg 2+ ion has a filled-shell electron configuration.
