  "term": "Stereoelectronic",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Relating to the interplay between the spatial arrangement of atoms (steric factors) and the electronic properties of a molecule, particularly how these factors influence chemical reactivity and molecular conformation. This concept considers the orientation of orbitals and electron density in determining reaction pathways and molecular stability. It often involves analyzing orbital overlap and hyperconjugation effects.",
