Ionizing of atoms in the atmosphere is due to interactions with ultraviolet light or other radiations and particles from the cosmic space.

The ionosphere is so named because of the presence of ions which are?

the ionosphere is the part of the earthâ??s atmosphere that is ionized by solar and cosmic radiation. High energy emitted from the sun cause the atoms in this area to lose electrons and become ionized and positively charged.


When plasma gets de-ionized what elemental particles does it become?

None. It becomes normal atoms.


What effect do electrons from the magnetosphere have on atoms?

Electrons from the magnetosphere can cause atoms to become excited or ionized when they interact with them. This can lead to the emission of light, changes in chemical reactions, or damage to biological molecules. Additionally, these electrons can contribute to the creation of auroras when they collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere.


Are Ions charged atoms or groups of atoms?

Either one. You can have an ionized atom or an ionized molecule. Many ionized molecules are radicals that had been part of a larger molecule and the event that separated them also ionized the radical. This is what free radicalsare.


How is gases and plasma different?

A plasma is a gas where the atoms are ionized (usually it is so hot that the atoms are completely ionized, the nuclei and electrons are completely separate).


Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?

Yes, only if there are both ions with positive charges and ions with negative charges among the ionized atoms.


What plasma made of?

Gas of multiply ionized atoms.


How many electrons do carbon atoms have?

Carbon atoms have 6 electrons, when non-ionized


The layer of the atmosphere which has proven very useful to people because it reflects radio waves is the?

The "F" layer is high altitude region of ionized atoms that reflects radio waves.


Can atoms be ionized by being excited?

No. When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.) An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron. But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.


When an atoms loses an electron it?

The atom is said to be ionized. (It can also be said to be oxidised.)


In what layer of the atmosphere do you find ionized gas particles?

The "ionosphere".
