  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008139",
  "term": "Nucleophilicity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the ability of a nucleophile to donate an electron pair and form a new bond with an electrophile. It is a kinetic property, reflecting the rate at which a nucleophile reacts. Factors influencing nucleophilicity include charge, electronegativity, steric hindrance, and solvent effects.",
