  "term": "Basicity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The inherent ability of a chemical species to act as a base, quantified by its tendency to accept a proton or donate an electron pair. This property is often expressed by the base dissociation constant (Kb) or the pKb value. A higher Kb value indicates a stronger base.",
