It has been customary to assume that the charge state of energetic particles corresponds to the ionization equilibrium of the ambient plasma within the acceleration region. Nonetheless, we ascribe to a different opinion, by suggesting that charge interchange mechanisms may be activated during the ensuing acceleration process. We substantiate our claim by the calculated behaviour of charge states corresponding to energized ions while they are accelerated in the source regions. These computations are based on the electron capture and loss cross sections. Results from the analysis allow us to conclude that, contrary to the general assumption, charge exchange processes may be invoked during the acceleration of energized ions in solar flares.
