  "term": "Chemical isotope exchange",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A process involving the transfer of isotopes of an element between two different chemical species or phases through a chemical reaction. This exchange occurs without a net change in the chemical composition of the system, only in the isotopic distribution. It is often used in isotope separation or in labeling studies to trace reaction pathways.",
