The energy level. The relative motion between the ions and electrons is measured in 100's to 1000's of electron volts (eV), but the binding energy of electrons to the atom is measured in 1 to 10 eV. To be captured, the electrons and ions have to be moving at the same speed and in roughly the same d...
