Ionizing radiation is any type of particle or electromagnetic wave that carries enough energy toionize or remove electrons from an atom. There are two types of electromagnetic waves that canionize atoms: X-rays and gamma-rays, and sometimes they have the same energy.

Ionization is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons to form ions, often in conjunction with other chemical changes.
Ionizing radiation ( ionising radiation ) is
radiation that carries enough energy to liberate
electrons from atoms or molecules , thereby
ionizing them. Ionizing radiation is made up of energetic subatomic particles , ions or atoms moving at high speeds (usually greater than 1% of the speed of light), and electromagnetic waves on the high-energy end of the
electromagnetic spectrum .
