Electron ionization

http://goldbook.iupac.org/E01999.html

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.

See: radical ion for a note concerning the symbolic representation of radical ions;
