If by ionising radiation you mean alpha radiation (the most ionising out of alpha, beta and gamma radiation) then about a millimetre of paper would stop it.
alpha radiation ionises the molecules of anything it reaches, but can pass through very few things due to its immense ionising power. This includes human tissue, but in all honesty, a large dose of alpha radiation wouldn't do human tissue alot of good.
In short, almost any material can stop ionising radiation.
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.

"Ionizing" means that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions. In other words, it can knock off one or more electrons.

No electromagnetic radiation, whether ionizing or not, is affected by an electric field or by a magnetic field.
Radiation can excite an electron sufficiently for the electron to leave the atom, thus having an ionizing effect.
There are two main types of radiation: External Radiation External radiation is the most common type of radiation, typically given after lumpectomy and sometimes, mastectomy. Internal Radiation Internal radiation is a less common method of giving radiation. It is being studied for use after lumpectomy.
Ionizing radiation is a physical stressor, as it can cause damage to biological tissues by disrupting the structure of atoms and molecules. HCV and HBV are viruses that can cause infections in the body, but they are not physical stressors in the same way that ionizing radiation is.
