Would the phrase "atomic dissension" make sense?

I thought dissension meant conflict, so then atomic dissension would mean conflict between atoms?

I'm looking for words or combination of words that means the destruction of matter by disconnecting the atoms from each other completely, not having the end result be like gases, but like taking buckyball magnets and splitting every individual ball magnet and scattering them any which way.

Any lexophiles?
