  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010120",
  "term": "Regular surface site",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A specific location on a solid surface where the atoms are arranged in a periodic and ordered manner, reflecting the bulk crystal structure. These sites are characterized by a consistent coordination number and geometric environment for adsorbed species. Such sites are distinct from defect sites, which exhibit irregularities in atomic arrangement.",
