What is the process of tempering?
It is the process of getting melted chocolate to set with it's crystals/molecules in the correct formation. If they crystals (molecules) set in the wrong formation, the chocolate will look dull, possibly 'bloom', and not break correctly.

In metal working, it has a different meaning- tempering of steel reduces some of the hardness, and produces a degree of "springiness" to steel, so that it will flex and return to original shape, without breaking. This question went to more than one category, so we can't tell which meaning was sought.
