denaturation is when a protein's environment is changed and the a protein changes its shape or sometimes even unfolds. they become inactive. dissociation refers to a large or complex protein made up of several different subunits in which the protein breaks apart and back into its separate subunits.

What is the relationship between enthalpy of atomisation of hydrogen and the bond dissociation enthalpy of the H-H bond?
the enthalpy of atomisation of hydrogen is equal and (in principle) identical to the bond dissociation enthalpy of the H-H bond. However, IF the first is measured by calorimetry and the second by spectrometry there might be a systematic difference.
What is the denaturation of a protein?
Denaturation is the degradation of proteins, a change of the molecular structure.
The destinguish between bond dissociation energy and atomization energy?
If you product has for example, dissociation of chlorine, it will have 2 atoms of chlorine in atomization, 0.5chlorine on balancing will give you only 1 mole of chlorine atom not 2 moles of atoms like dissociation enthalpy.
Is Dissociation a process?
Dissociation is a process that occurs along a spectrum of severity
What is the difference between dissolving and dissociation?
Dissociation can be viewed as a subsection of dissolving. Dissolving is a general term for when something is placed into a solution, and the substance breaks up to make it seem as if the substance is no longer present. This could mean that the original structure of crystals breaks into molecules. For example, IF a chunk of NaCl was placed in water and it broke up into small molecules of NaCl, the process WOULD be one of dissolving. However, that would not be one of dissociation. In order for the above example to be dissociation, NaCl would have to be broken up into Na+ and Cl- ions independent of each other. Dissociation is "the separation of ions that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves" (Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart and Winston). Thus, dissociation is more specific than dissolving. According to the related link, anything that dissociates also dissolves, but not everything that dissolves can dissociate.
What the difference between dissociation and solvation?
Dissociation is when a person's conscious s completely or partially disrupted. Solvation is when the molecules become attracted within a solvent or solute.
What makes an acid stronger than the other?
The difference is between dissociation constants. A high value has the meaning of strong acid.
Is there a difference between disassociation and dissociation?
No, Dissociation is in a chemical sense, defined as the process when ions break down in aqueous solutions. Disassociation is to divert from something, or to not associate yourself with it. Often times, Disassociation is mixed with Dissociation, the latter being the correct form of the word in the chemical world.
What is the chemical reaction that causes an egg to become hard-boiled?
The chemical reaction is caused by the conflict of the sulphur from the yolk and the chemicals in the albumen in the white. This is why hard-boiled eggs get that very unappetizing green ring between the white and yolk.
Distinguish between dissociation and association?
Dissociation in chemistry is the process of splitting of an ionic compound in water solution. Association is the inverse process.
The disruption of a protein's three-dimensional shape is called?
Denaturation
What is the relationship between enthalpy of atomisation of hydrogen and the bond dissociation enthalpy of the H-H bond?
the enthalpy of atomisation of hydrogen is equal and (in principle) identical to the bond dissociation enthalpy of the H-H bond. However, IF the first is measured by calorimetry and the second by spectrometry there might be a systematic difference.
What is the difference between ions and salts?
1. Salts are products of a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. 2. Ions are formed by dissociation of salts, bases, acids dissolved in water.
What is the denaturation of a protein?
Denaturation is the degradation of proteins, a change of the molecular structure.
The application of heat or acid to a protein that causes its shape to change is known as?
denaturation.
What is the relationship between the magnitude of a molecule's bond dissociation energy and its expected chemical reactivity?
remember dissociation energy is the energy required to break a bond between to covalently bonded atoms. dissociation energy corresponds to the strength of a covalent bond. carbon compounds however have very high dissociation energy meaning it would be harder to break the bond between them than it is for a bond of lower dissociation energy. if the bonds cannot be broken then they cannot be used to form covalent bonds and thus are unreactive. they are unreactive partly because their dissociation energy is high. in other words for the slow ones jk lol: the higher the dissociation energy the less reactive. ex carbon compounds like C-C, C-H are unreactive
What is the relation between strong electrolyte and dissociation?
