What is the term for electromagnetic radiation that carries enough energy to remove electrons from matter?
We call that ionizing radiation.
What important ability or property does electromagnetic radiation have that other energy transport processes such as conduction and convection do not?
Electromagnetic radiation can travel through a vacuum (like the vacuum of space), while conduction and convection require matter to do their thing.
What forms of energy transfer does the vacuum prevent?
Sound, as this is a compression wave through a fluid (liquid or gas) or solid material. The electromagnetic spectrum finds a vacuum no trouble at all. cw: Vacuums prevent convection and conduction but do not prevent radiation.
Is energy element compound or mixture?
None of these. It is energy. It is not matter. But according to the law of relativity, energy can be converted into matter.
When energy reflects off matter how is the energy affected?
Energy comes in different forms; it would help to know what type of energy you are talking about. Energy that can move around includes mechanical waves (for example, waves in water), sound waves, light and other electromagnetic radiation.
What do waves do not require to carry energy?
Radiation, or electromagnetic waves do not require matter to carry energy.

Form of energy does not require matter for traveling through space?
Electromagnetic Radiation
Does the transfer of thermal energy by radiation require matter?
Now, this question has two answers. To give rise to, and to absorb, thermal radiation, matter is needed. Energy in the form of gravitational or electromagnetic fields neither emits nor absorbs thermal radiation. However, thermal radiation, an electromagnetic wave, does not need matter to transverse space.
Does radiation transfer energy by moving matter?
No. Radiation transfers energy by the propagation of waves within the electromagnetic spectrum and the travel of photons (wave-particle duality). No matter is moved in this process.

What matter gives off electromagnetic radiation?
Dark Matter

Which form of energy does not require matter for traveling through space?
Electromagnetic radiation. Energy can also be transmitted by electric fields, by magnetic fields, and by gravitation.Electromagnetic radiation.

Is matter of energy destructible?
Do you mean "matter or energy"?. Strictly not, in the sense that it never disappears. Matter can be thought of as condensed energy, via Einstein's E=mc2. Even if you "destroy" matter (mass) in a nuclear explosion, it is really converted into sound, heat and radiation, and some of the radiation may leave this planet. But it isn't destroyed.
How is energy transfered when no matter is present?
Energy can be transferred when no matter is present by electromagnetic radiation, such as light or radio waves. However, the actual energy is matter, because matter and energy are convertible, simply different forms of each other, using Einstein's famous equation e = mc2.
Matter in space that does not give off electromagnetic radiation is called?
Dark Matter
