a reactive pair

According to Newton's third law, a reactive pair (action - reaction pair) consists of two forces that are in opposite directions, have equal magnitudes, and act on different objects. A Newtonian pair is not a standard term in this context. A force pair is a more general and less specific term. An interaction pair is also not the precise term as per the law.
