Solution

The reaction that involves breaking atoms due to the ionisation of an atom by ionising radiation is HCl + γ (photon) → H+ + Cl-. This is because ionising radiation, represented here by the gamma photon (γ), is capable of ionising atoms, which means it can remove tightly bound electrons from the orbit of an atom, causing the atom to become charged or ionised. In this case, the HCl molecule is ionised into H+ and Cl- ions.
