What's the difference between dissociation and recombination?

Dissociation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of dissociating or disuniting; a state of separation; disunion.
  • (n.) The process by which a compound body breaks up into simpler constituents; -- said particularly of the action of heat on gaseous or volatile substances; as, the dissociation of the sulphur molecules; the dissociation of ammonium chloride into hydrochloric acid and ammonia.
