Difference Between Excitation and Ionization

Compare with Definitions

Excitation

The act or process of exciting or an instance of it.

Ionization

Ionization or ionisation is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes. The resulting electrically charged atom or molecule is called an ion.

Excitation

The state or condition of being excited.

Ionization

The formation of or separation into ions by heat, electrical discharge, radiation, or chemical reaction.

Excitation

(Physiology) The activity produced in an organ, tissue, or part, such as a nerve cell, as a result of stimulation.

Ionization

The state of being ionized.

Excitation

The act of exciting or putting in motion; the act of rousing up or awakening.

Ionization

Any process that leads to the dissociation of a neutral atom or molecule into charged particles ions; the state of being ionized.

Excitation

The act of producing excitement (stimulation); also, the excitement produced.

Ionization

The process of converting neutral atoms or molecules into ions. The process may occur by dissolving an ionic substance in a dissociating solvent, such as water, or by adding or subtracting an electron to or from an atom or molecule. The latter process occurs, for example, in an electron beam in a mass spectrometer and by interaction of substances with ionizing radiation.

Excitation

(physiology) The activity produced in an organ, tissue, or part, such as a nerve cell, as a result of stimulation

Ionization

The condition of being dissociated into ions (as by heat or radiation or chemical reaction or electrical discharge);
The ionization of a gas

Excitation

(physics) A transition of a nucleus, atom or molecule to an excited state by the absorption of a quantum of energy; the opposite of relaxation

Ionization

The process of ionizing; the formation of ions by separating atoms or molecules or radicals or by adding or subtracting electrons from atoms by strong electric fields in a gas

Excitation

The act of exciting or putting in motion; the act of rousing up or awakening.

Excitation

The act of producing excitement (stimulation); also, the excitement produced.

Excitation

The state of being emotionally aroused and worked up;
His face was flushed with excitement and his hands trembled
He tried to calm those who were in a state of extreme inflammation

Excitation

The neural or electrical arousal of an organ or muscle or gland

Excitation

Something that agitates and arouses;
He looked forward to the excitements of the day
