Chemical recombination

Term · Nuclear energy and radiation · MLC-T-NUC-000061

Following an ionization event, the positively and negatively charged ion pairs may or may not realign themselves to form the same chemical substance they formed before ionization. Thus, chemical recombination could change the chemical composition of the material bombarded by ionizing radiation.
