I don’t get it?
It really works!

Union-ized as in forming a union vs un-ionized as in not ionized
Daryl76679@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
The chemist will pronounce it un-ionized, while the plumber will pronounce it union-ized

Are you a scientist or a plumber?

Yes.

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.

Listen, I DIDN’T COME HERE TO BE EDUCATED…but I’m enjoying it. Carry on.

society is a material held together by the attraction between male and female, and that’s how we build a community or sth

That’s an easy one: it’s pronounced “unionized”.

Haha this made me laugh.

Wouldn’t it be de-ionize?
lauha@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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
tatterdemalion@programming.dev 1 year ago
No clue, also not a chemist. I would probably just say “atom” or “neutral molecule” instead.

I dunno if it’s right, but I like it 👍

Aren’t most plumbers shelf employed though?

I think de-ionize or de-ionized/de-ionization is the proper term.
BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As a chemist, I somewhat agree. If something was becoming not ionized, I’d say deionization. But generally I’d go with non-ionized.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I agree with the professional chemist.
