  "term": "Equilibrium distance",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The internuclear separation between two atoms in a molecule at which the potential energy is at a minimum. This distance represents the most stable bond length for a diatomic molecule or a specific bond within a polyatomic molecule. It is a fundamental parameter in molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemistry.",
