A a

faction — a form of writing or filmmaking that treats real people or events as if they were fictional or uses them as an integral part of a fictional account.
fraction — Mathematics. a number usually expressed in the form a/b. a ratio of algebraic quantities similarly expressed.
traction — the adhesive friction of a body on some surface, as a wheel on a rail or a tire on a road.

abstraction — An abstraction is a general idea rather than one relating to a particular object, person, or situation.
attraction — An attraction is a feature which makes something interesting or desirable.
chain reaction — A chain reaction is a series of chemical changes, each of which causes the next.
contraction — When a woman who is about to give birth has contractions, she experiences a very strong, painful tightening of the muscles of her womb.
diffraction — the phenomenon exhibited by wave fronts that, passing the edge of an opaque body, are modulated, thereby causing a redistribution of energy within the front: it is detectable in light waves by the presence of a pattern of closely spaced dark and light bands (diffraction pattern) at the edge of a shadow.
distraction — the act of distracting.
inaction — absence of action; idleness.
infraction — breach; violation; infringement: an infraction of the rules.
reaction — a reverse movement or tendency; an action in a reverse direction or manner.
retraction — the act of retracting or the state of being retracted.
simple fraction — a ratio of two integers.
subtraction — an act or instance of subtracting.
transaction — the act of transacting or the fact of being transacted.

common fraction — a fraction whose numerator and denominator are both whole numbers
complex fraction — a fraction in which the numerator or denominator or both contain fractions
compound fraction — complex fraction
immune reaction — All the changes in a tissue that result from the action of a foreign substance introduced into an organism.
interaction — reciprocal action, effect, or influence.
liquefaction — the act or process of liquefying or making liquid.
nuclear reaction — reaction (def 8).
proper fraction — a fraction having the numerator less, or lower in degree, than the denominator.
satisfaction — an act of satisfying; fulfillment; gratification.

chemical reaction — a process that involves changes in the structure and energy content of atoms, molecules, or ions but not their nuclei
continued fraction — a number plus a fraction whose denominator contains a number and a fraction whose denominator contains a number and a fraction, and so on
decimal fraction — a fraction whose denominator is some power of 10, usually indicated by a dot (decimal point or point) written before the numerator: as 0.4 = 4/10; 0.126 = 126/1000.
dissatisfaction — the state or attitude of not being satisfied; discontent; displeasure.
improper fraction — a fraction having the numerator greater than the denominator.
insulin reaction — a state of collapse caused by a decrease in blood sugar resulting from the administration of excessive insulin.
strong interaction — the interaction between gluons and between gluons and quarks that is responsible for the strong force.
weak interaction — the interaction between elementary particles and the intermediate vector bosons that carry the weak force from one particle to another.
x-ray diffraction — diffraction of x-rays by the regularly spaced atoms of a crystal, useful for determining the arrangement of the atoms.

thermonuclear reaction — a nuclear-fusion reaction that takes place between the nuclei of a gas, especially hydrogen, heated to a temperature of several million degrees.

law of action and reaction — any of three laws of classical mechanics, either the law that a body remains at rest or in motion with a constant velocity unless an external force acts on the body (first law of motion) the law that the sum of the forces acting on a body is equal to the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration produced by the forces, with motion in the direction of the resultant of the forces (second law of motion) or the law that for every force acting on a body, the body exerts a force having equal magnitude and the opposite direction along the same line of action as the original force (third law of motion or law of action and reaction)

fundamental interaction — any of the four basic interactions that occur in nature: the gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak interactions

gravitational interaction — an interaction between particles or bodies resulting from their mass. It is very weak and occurs at all distances
