Atoms collide and, under certain circumstances, react to form bonds with one another. The process of association is the bonding of atoms into a molecule while dissociation is the process by which a molecule breaks apart into simpler groups of atoms, individual atoms, or ions. Students interact with a molecular dynamics model to explore the making and breaking of bonds.
