I think de-ionize or de-ionized/de-ionization is the proper term.
As a chemist, I somewhat agree. If something was becoming not ionized, I’d say deionization. But generally I’d go with non-ionized.
I agree with the professional chemist.
Aren’t most plumbers shelf employed though?
Ironically, ionized particles tend to stick together (trying to become neutrally-charged) whereas unionized particles tend not to interact as strongly; so a group of chemists ‘binding’ together to form a union would actually be ‘ionized’ not ‘unionized’ … metaphorically :p
While ionized particles stick to other things, they do not really stick together - at least if they are the same type of particles or rather carry the same type of charge, respectively.
Plumber checking in
Is the UA as good as the IBEW? I mean, I guess you’re only one so you can’t compare yourself to the other.
Wouldn’t it be de-ionize?
Unionized means particles without charge, i.e. particles with same amount of electrons and protons.
Deionized is something that once had ions and through some process those ions lost their charge.
Correct me if I’m wrong. I am not a chemist
No clue, also not a chemist. I would probably just say “atom” or “neutral molecule” instead.
I might even say non-ionized.
I dunno if it’s right, but I like it 👍
I don’t get it?
Union-ized as in forming a union vs un-ionized as in not ionized
Aha! Thanks!
The chemist will pronounce it un-ionized, while the plumber will pronounce it union-ized
Are you a scientist or a plumber?
Just some guy
- You’n-yun-ized
- Un-ion-ized
onionization achieved
Yeah I know, the guy you replied to his name is some guy
But I’m not smart, so my reply makes sense
That’s an easy one: it’s pronounced “unionized”.
Now do “gif”.
Haha this made me laugh.
