Preferred Label : electron ionization;
Detailed label : electron ionization in mass spectrometry;
IUPAC definition : This is the term used to describe ionization of any species by electrons. The process
may, for example, be written: ul li for atoms or molecules: \[{M} e \rightarrow
{M} { \cdot } 2e\] /li li for radicals: \[{M} {\cdot} e \rightarrow {M} {
} 2e\] /li /ul The term 'electron impact' should not be used.;
