  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004545",
  "term": "Fluxional",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Describing a molecule or ion that undergoes rapid, reversible intramolecular rearrangements, leading to the interchange of chemically equivalent atoms or groups. These rearrangements occur on a timescale that is fast relative to the experimental observation method, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The dynamic nature results in an averaged spectrum.",
