Wikipedia
ionisation
Ionization (or ionisation) is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes. The resulting electrically charged atom or molecule is called an ion. Ionization can result from the loss of an electron after collisions with subatomic particles, collisions with other atoms, molecules and ions, or through the interaction with electromagnetic radiation. Heterolytic bond cleavage and heterolytic substitution reactions can result in the formation of ion pairs. Ionization can occur through radioactive decay by the internal conversion process, in which an excited nucleus transfers its energy to one of the inner-shell electrons causing it to be ejected.

ionisation
Ionisation refers to the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons to form ions. This can occur as a result of high temperatures, electrical discharge, or radiation. The resulting ions are then able to participate in chemical reactions. The specific form of ionisation can vary, including processes such as photo-ionisation, impact ionisation, and tunnel ionisation, among others.

Ionisation
Ionisation is a musical composition by Edgard Varèse written for thirteen percussionists, the first concert hall composition for percussion ensemble alone . The premiere was at Steinway Hall, on March 6, 1933, conducted by Nicolas Slonimsky, to whom the piece was later dedicated. One critic described the performance as "a sock in the jaw."
