  "term": "Reactive scattering",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A technique used to study the dynamics of chemical reactions by observing the angular and velocity distributions of product molecules after a collision between reactant species. This method typically involves crossing two molecular beams in a vacuum chamber. The analysis of scattered products provides insights into the reaction mechanism and energy transfer.",
