dissociation
Let an agent explain chemical dissociation and its kinds, relay dissociation constants, energies and mechanisms from chemistry references, describe applications, and distinguish the chemical sense from psychological dissociation and other senses.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain chemical dissociation and its kinds, relay dissociation constants, energies and mechanisms from chemistry references, describe applications, and distinguish the chemical sense from psychological dissociation and other senses.
In chemistry, the process in which a molecule, ion or complex splits into smaller components such as ions, radicals or atoms, including the dissociation of acids and salts into ions in solution, deprotonation as loss of a proton, photodissociation by light, thermal dissociation and decomplexation of coordination compounds, characterised by dissociation constants and energies; the word also names a psychological process of detachment from thought or identity and other senses that are separate.
What it is for: Not applicable; a chemical process.
It can be explain kinds and mechanisms; relay constants and energies; describe applications; distinguish other senses.
Distinguishing features
Reversible splitting
Equilibrium constants
Energy requirement
Multiple triggers
What it looks like
Not a visible object; molecules splitting into parts.
Physical character
water autodissociation constant: 1.0e-14 at 25 C
bond dissociation energy of H2: 436 kJ/mol
dissociation constant symbol: Kd or Ka notation
How it is recognised
Splitting of molecules or ions
Ionic dissociation, deprotonation, photodissociation, thermal dissociation, decomplexation
Psychological dissociation is a mental process; decomposition may be irreversible and involve many steps
