Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Degree of ionization. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Isn't it He2+
?

Physics usage[edit]

In physics, from my experience, the terms degree of ionization, ionization degree, fractional ionization, ionization fraction, and degree of fractional ionization are all used interchangeably and can refer to either

  • the proportion of neutral particles of a particular species that have been ionized,[1] or
  • the proportion of electrons/electron abundance/electron fraction[2][3][4]

depending on the author. Currently, the article only mentions the former. Before I change the article to reflect the existence of both meanings, I think additional comment is needed from others with more experience than myself. (Note the lack of diversity in the sources I reference.) CoronalMassAffection (talk) 06:58, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
