Unionized means particles without charge, i.e. particles with same amount of electrons and protons.

Deionized is something that once had ions and through some process those ions lost their charge.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I am not a chemist

No clue, also not a chemist. I would probably just say "atom" or "neutral molecule" instead.

I might even say non-ionized.

I dunno if it's right, but I like it 👍
