Rebound reaction

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010004",
  "term": "Rebound reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A reaction in a molecular beam experiment whose products are scattered backwards relative to the motion of the centre of mass of the colliding pair. It points to a collision with a small impact parameter, in which the reactants approach nearly head-on and the newly formed product recoils. Its counterpart, a stripping reaction, sends the products forward.",
