In chemistry, contraction often refers to the decrease in volume of a substance when it undergoes a change in temperature or pressure, typically due to a reduction in kinetic energy of the molecules. It can also describe the process where certain compounds or solutions concentrate, leading to a decrease in the space they occupy. This phenomenon is commonly observed in gases when compressed or in solutions when solutes are added.
