GOLD BOOK DEFINITION

IUPAC. Compendium of Chemical Terminology, 2nd ed. (the Gold Book). Compiled by A. D. McNaught and A.Wilkinson. Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford (1997).

Electron ionization

This is the term used to describe ionization of any species by electrons. The process may, for example, be written:

for atoms or molecules:

M + e --> M+. + 2e

for radicals:

M. + e --> M+ + 2e

The term 'electron impact' should not be used.
