Radiolysis

Radiolysis Radiolysis is the process of splitting atoms or molecules under the influence of ionizing radiation. Due to the radiation energy, the atoms become electrically charged and begin to move, and the bond between the atoms is destroyed. There are two main types of radiolysis: electron and gamma rays. Electron radius begins when an electron in an atom receives enough energy from radiation and moves to a higher energy level than its base one. This leads to the destruction of the bond between the electron and the nucleus of the atom and the separation of the electron from the atom. The result is a positively charged ion, also known as radiolytic ions. Gamma radiolysis occurs when gamma radiation causes nuclear reactions in which atoms emit energy as they transform from one state to another.

In scientific research, radiolysis is used in a variety of fields, including
