A typical Geiger counter consists of a cylinder metal tube filled with an inhert gas that can be readily ionized. This info is from the McGraw science book.

There are several methods that can cause atoms in a chamber to ionize. One common method is through the application of heat, which provides enough energy for atoms to lose electrons and become ionized. Other methods include exposure to strong electric fields, collisions with other charged particles, or exposure to high-energy radiation.

Is the process of unstable atoms trying to become stable by emitting energy that is at a level high enough to ionize.?
process of unstable atoms trying to become stable by emitting energy that is at a level high enough to ionize
Which type of radiation ionizes atoms and molecules?
Alpha and Beta are the most efficient forms of radiation that can ionize atoms. However Gamma can do it too.
How does metamorphic rock develop?
Heat and pressure from overlying rock layers (or heat from adjacent magma) causes the atoms of the original rock to ionize and recrystallize. Metamorphic rocks are more dense and structurally stable than the 'protolith' from which they are formed.
What is the function of an ionization chamber?
the ionization chamber ionizes atoms into ions in the in the mass spectrometer
Ionizing radiation may ionize atoms in living cells as it passes through the body Why does that cause concern?
Chemical reactions are changed by ionization. Ionized atoms act chemically differently than unionized atoms.
What happens to hydrogen atoms at a very high temperatures?
They ionize (into plasma).

What happens when two non metal atoms ionize?
generally anions are formed
What type of hydrogens can ionize in a compound?
those bonded to highly electronegative atoms
Why is ultraviolet light considered ionizing radiation?
That means that it is energetic enough to ionize atoms - to convert neutral atoms into ions.
Which type of radiation ionizes atoms and molecules?
Alpha and Beta are the most efficient forms of radiation that can ionize atoms. However Gamma can do it too.
What is a sentence with plasma?
Heating a gas may ionize its molecules or atoms, thus turning it into a plasma.
What is acidic salt?
if the salt contains a ionize able hydrogen atom the this salt will b termed as an acidic salt..... as acid contains ionize able hydrogen atoms.... examples are.. NAHSO4

When atoms of elements on the left side of the periodic table ionize they tend to?
They tend to loose electron. They form cations.

the ionization chamber ionizes atoms into ions in the in the mass spectrometer
