Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
dissociationIn chemistry, the process whereby a single compound splits into two or more smaller products, which may be capable of recombining to form the reactant. Where dissociation is incomplete (not all the compound's molecules dissociate), a chemical equilibrium exists between the compound and its dissociation products. The extent of incomplete dissociation is defined by a numerical value (dissociation constant). |

Here then, he sat a while and panted; but now his thoughts were sensibly lightened; now, with the trunk standing just inside the door, some part of his dissociation from the house of crime had been effected, and the cabman need not pass the garden wall. He leant back against the hives, and with upturned face made observations on the stars, whose cold pulses were beating amid the black hollows above, in serene dissociation from these two wisps of human life. |
