    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.

      Edit: I was pretty tired when I posted the original message. But after looking back, if something was non-ionized, I’d probably just say “neutral”, since it probably doesn’t have a charge.

      Union-ized as in forming a union vs un-ionized as in not ionized

          Also for additional context, plumbers are frequently in unions and chemists aren’t (at least in America where the Webster dictionary is the dialectic expert)

      The chemist will pronounce it un-ionized, while the plumber will pronounce it union-ized

    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.

    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.

      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.
