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.
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)
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.
I think de-ionize or de-ionized/de-ionization is the proper term.

I agree with the professional chemist.
As a plumber, I respectfully disagree.
I don’t get it?
Union-ized as in forming a union vs un-ionized as in not ionized
Aha! Thanks!

The chemist will pronounce it un-ionized, while the plumber will pronounce it union-ized
Are you a scientist or a plumber?
Just some guy
onionization achieved
Yeah I know, the guy you replied to his name is some guy
But I'm not smart, so my reply makes sense
Unintended Yuyun nod?
Yes.

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
Haha this made me laugh.
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.
I dunno if it's right, but I like it 👍
Plumber checking in
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.

Aren't most plumbers shelf employed though?
