  "term": "Ionogenic groups",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Functional groups within a molecule or on a material that can dissociate to form ions, typically by gaining or losing a proton. These groups are responsible for the charged nature of polyelectrolytes, ion-exchange resins, and many biological molecules. Examples include carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) and amine groups (-NH2).",
