  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001911",
  "term": "Charge-exchange reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction involving the transfer of one or more electrons between two colliding species, resulting in a change in their charge states. This process can occur between ions and neutral molecules, or between two ions. In mass spectrometry, it is a common mechanism for ionization or fragmentation of analytes.",
