Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ionizing radiation is able to dislodge electrons from atoms, which then creates ions. This can lead to chemical changes in molecules, damage to cells, and other harmful effects on biological systems. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and alpha or beta particles.
