Dissociation Breaking of a chemical compound into simpler constituents as a result of added energy, as in the case of gaseous molecules dissociated by heating; also, the effect of a solvent on a dissolved polar compound (electrolyte), as in the case of an inorganic s... more
Dissociation Dissociation is the process by which a chemical combination breaks up into simpler constituents. Dissociation may be accomplished by the addition of energy, as in the case of gaseous molecules dissociated by heat; or by the action of a solvent on a polar... more
