What's the difference between interact and react?

Interact


Definition:

  • (n.) A short act or piece between others, as in a play; an interlude; hence, intermediate employment or time.
  • (v. i.) To act upon each other; as, two agents mutually interact.

React


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To act or perform a second time; to do over again; as, to react a play; the same scenes were reacted at Rome.
  • (v. i.) To return an impulse or impression; to resist the action of another body by an opposite force; as, every body reacts on the body that impels it from its natural state.
  • (v. i.) To act upon each other; to exercise a reciprocal or a reverse effect, as two or more chemical agents; to act in opposition.
