I know that when a gas gets ionized it will conduct electricity but what will happen if we increase the voltage even after ionization?will it explode eventually?if it will explode will that be in nuclear label ?

Ionization is the process by which an atom or molecule gains or loses one or more electrons, resulting in a charged particle called an ion.
After ionization, the atom or molecule becomes a charged particle, either a positively charged ion (cation) or a negatively charged ion (anion). This can affect the physical and chemical properties of the particle.
The degree of ionization depends on factors such as the energy of the incident radiation or particles, the type of atom or molecule, and the surrounding environment.
Yes, ionization can occur in everyday objects such as air, water, and even living organisms. It can also occur in industrial processes and in outer space.
Ionization has many practical applications in various fields such as medicine, energy production, and environmental science. It is used in technologies such as X-ray machines, nuclear power plants, and air purifiers.
