When a molecule absorbs light and breaks into smaller fragments, that process is photodissociation. This light-driven chemical reaction is essential in atmospheric chemistry, breaking pollutants like CFCs, and in astrophysics to study interstellar clouds. Researchers and environmental scientists benefit from it, as it helps model ozone depletion and understand molecular behavior in space.
