ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Charge remote fragmentation

Ok kiddo, have you ever played with LEGOs? Imagine if you had a big castle made out of LEGOs but you wanted to take it apart and make different LEGO structures with the same blocks. That's kind of what charge remote fragmentation is like.

Charge remote fragmentation is a fancy science term that means breaking up a molecule into smaller pieces by zapping it with electricity. Imagine your LEGO castle getting hit with a big spark and breaking into smaller LEGO buildings.

Scientists use this method to study molecules and figure out what they're made of. It's like taking apart a puzzle to see what each piece looks like. They can then use this information to create new compounds or understand how certain chemicals work.

So, next time you play with LEGOs, imagine you're an awesome scientist zapping molecules with electricity to learn cool things!
