  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006205",
  "term": "Isomerization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical process in which a molecule is transformed into another molecule with the same atoms but a different arrangement of those atoms. This rearrangement can involve changes in connectivity or spatial orientation. The process often occurs through intramolecular reactions, such as sigmatropic rearrangements or ring-opening/closing reactions.",
