  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001980",
  "term": "Chemiexcitation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The generation of an electronically excited state of a molecule as a direct result of a chemical reaction. This excited state can then relax by emitting light, a process known as chemiluminescence. A classic example is the reaction of luminol, which produces light through chemiexcitation.",
