  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004624",
  "term": "Fractal dimension",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A statistical quantity that indicates how completely a fractal object fills the space it occupies, reflecting its complexity and irregularity. For a fractal agglomerate, it describes the relationship between its mass or size and its radius of gyration. This dimension is often non-integer and provides insight into the growth mechanism of aggregates.",
