    See, I’m a chemist, but I also believe in the power and importance of organized labor, so I still read that as unionized.

    Plus, I think most chemists would say “neutral” or use protonated/deprotonated rather than un-ionized

      Also un-ionized as a hyphen (which you used when writing it) and unionized doesn’t. Which is probably why you, and most chemists, would read it as unionized as well.
