Radiation can excite an electron sufficiently for the electron to leave the atom, thus having an ionizing effect.
"Ionizing" means that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions. In other words, it can knock off one or more electrons.

Gamma radiation has the greatest ionizing effect among the different types of radiation. It consists of high-energy photons that can penetrate deeply into tissues and cells, causing extensive damage by ionizing atoms and molecules along its path.
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Yes, radiation can be classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, leading to the formation of ions. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and certain types of nuclear radiation.
Yes, the Titan 11 warheads can cause ionizing radiation. They fall under the category of nuclear weapons which have an adverse effect to the health of human beings.?æ

Alpha anf beta particles are two kinds of ionizing radiation. Their ionizing effect on materials and human tissues depends on their energies.
