  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012563",
  "term": "Vibrational eigenvector",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mathematical vector that describes the displacement of atoms in a molecule during a specific normal mode of vibration. Each eigenvector corresponds to a unique vibrational frequency and represents a collective motion of all atoms in the molecule. These vectors are obtained from a normal coordinate analysis and are orthogonal to each other.",
