  "term": "Surface-active site",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A specific location on the surface of a solid material, such as a catalyst or adsorbent, where chemical reactions or adsorption processes preferentially occur. These sites often possess unique electronic or structural properties that facilitate interaction with reactants. Examples include F-centers and V-centers in certain materials.",
