In psychology and psychiatry, a perceived detachment of the mind from the emotional state or even from the body. Dissociation is characterized by a sense of the world as a dreamlike or unreal place and may be accompanied by poor memory of specific events.

Method of dissolving that occurs when an ionic compound separates into ions as it dissolves (Lesson 13, Lab 2)

the pro Definition:cess by which a chemical compound breaks down into simpler constituents, as do co2 and h2o at high temperature.

Mental condition characterized by a loss of the integration of faculties or functions that are normally integrated in consciousness. Can affect memory, sensory modalities, motor functions, cognitive f [..]

(1) The separation of a molecular entity into two or more molecular entities (or any similar separation within a polyatomic molecular entity). Examples include unimolecular heterolysis and homolysis, and the separation of the constituents of an ion pair into free ions. (2) The separation of the constituents of any aggregate of molecular entities. I [..]

Breaking down of a compound into its components to form ions from an ionic substance.

The splitting of a compound into two or more simpler molecules, atoms, or ions.

The separation of molecules into positively and negatively charged ions in water.

The process of stepping outside the point of view of experiencing the world from one's physical position; seeing oneself from outside the self and, for internal representations, from outside the [..]

Process in which large chemical species break down into smaller, usually charged subunits, like a molecule breaking down into the ions that form it. [Fluid Phase Equilibria, Vol. 253, 98-107, 2007.]
