Charge exchange and ion exchange are two distinct processes. Charge Exchange refers to a physical process through which an ion exchanges one or more electrons with a neutral species. It is generally considered to be the basis for cometary x-ray phenomena, which differ from simple scattering and fluorescence. Charge Exchange does not refer to a chemical process in this context. Because of its significance in understanding the (unexpected) x-ray emission from comets, its deserves its own separate page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.99.95.101 (talk) 12:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
