  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A non-SI unit of radioactivity, defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which 3.7 x 10^10 disintegrations occur per second. This unit was originally based on the activity of one gram of radium-226. The SI unit for radioactivity is the becquerel (Bq), where 1 Bq equals one disintegration per second, making 1 Ci equivalent to 3.7 x 10^10 Bq.",
