my teacher in physics demonstrated polarization by combing her hair and small pieces of papers were magnetized by the comb. she said that when you do it, the electrons from the hair were transferred to the comb and the comb becomes negatively charged. (or is it the other way around? the comb is the positively charged) anyway,
i remember my chemistry teacher saying the removal of an electron is called ionization. is there ionization happening when you brush the hair with a comb?

Hi. Yes. Every time you remove an electron the atom becomes ionized. (Adding an electron would give you an anion.)
