Definition of photodissociation in English:
photodissociation
noun ˈfəʊtə(ʊ)dɪˌsəʊʃɪˈeɪʃ(ə)nˌfōdōdiˌsōsēˈāSH(ə)nˌfōdōdiˌsōSHēˈāSH(ə)n
mass nounChemistry Dissociation of a chemical compound by the action of light.
ozone is produced at stratospheric levels by photodissociation of molecular oxygen
Example sentencesExamples
- The retention of motion in heme proteins in sugar glasses is also shown by the recombination of CO after photodissociation.
- Oxygen would be produced by photodissociation of water vapour.
- This method is also useful to probe the oxygen on/off rates, especially when the quantum yield for oxygen photodissociation is low.
- This involves photodissociation or direct breaking of intramolecular bonds in biopolymers, caused by absorption of incident photons and subsequent release of biological material.
- The size of the peak indicates complete photodissociation of carbon monoxide.
