what is the difference between thermal decomposition and thermal dissociation?

Can I please get it in simple, decipherable and understandable words?

Thermal decomposition:-

Reaction in which heat is used  for the breaking of a chemical substances in two or more parts.

CaCO3+heat --> CO2+CaO

 

Thermal dissociation:-

A compound is breaks reversibly into two parts in a single step

NH4Cl+heat --> NH3+HCl

thermal decomposition is a irreversible reaction whereas thermal dissociation is a reversible reaction..

eg:Dissociation of HCL to give H+and CL- is thermal dissociation
