Scientific paper

The dissociation of molecules and the ionization of atoms by the far ultraviolet radiation is reviewed. Some basic considerations of early observations and their interpretation are presented. Current observations of photodissociation regions concerning molecular clouds illuminated by nearby hot stars are reported. The results of these observations also illucidate the physical processes in other environments. An overview of present theoretical models is provided. A description of some of the outstanding puzzles is given.
