electrolyte
hydration
ionization

Answer 1

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Ionization is the term refers to the formation of ions as a result of a chemical reaction.

Ionization, in general, occurs whenever sufficiently energetic charged particles or radiant energy travel through gases, liquids, or solids. Charged particles, such as alpha particles and electrons from radioactive materials, cause extensive ionizationalong their paths.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which a compound in a chemical reaction results in the formation of ions is known as ionization.

Whereas dissociation is a process in which a compound  divides into atoms, ions or radicals.

A chemical compound which when dissolved in a solution forms ions and thus, conducts electricity is known as electrolyte.

A chemical reaction in which a compound reacts or combines with water is known as hydration.

Therefore, we can conclude that ionization is the term which refers to the formation of ions as a result of a chemical reaction.
