  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012564",
  "term": "Vibrational kinetic energy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The energy associated with the motion of atoms within a molecule as they oscillate around their equilibrium positions. This energy is quantized and contributes to the total internal energy of a molecule. It is a component of the total kinetic energy of the molecule, distinct from translational and rotational kinetic energy.",
