Charge-stripping reaction

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001913",
  "term": "Charge-stripping reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An ion-neutral reaction in the gas phase in which the reactant ion gains positive charge, usually when a fast ion collides with a neutral target gas and loses one or more electrons. In a mass spectrometer, for example, a singly charged ion of several keV that passes through a collision gas can emerge as a doubly charged ion, which is then analysed.",
