Photon A minute (tiny) bundle of pure energy that has no weight or mass
X-radiation High-energy ionizing electromagnetic radiation
Nucleus Dense core, of the atom is composed of particles known as protons and neutrons.
Electrically unbalanced An atom that gains or lose an electron

X-rays have enough energy to push an electron out of its orbit, producing an ion In a process called ionization.
What are the shells in order K, L, M, N, O, P
Ionization is the process Electrons are removed from the orbital shells of electrically stable atoms through collisions with x-ray photons
Ion pair is when Electron is removed from the atom
If the atom gains an electron It has a negative charge
If the atom loses an electron It has a positive charge
An atom that gains or loses an electron Gets electrically unbalanced is called an ion
Converting an atom into ions is the process of Ionization
