The contribution of neutrino-lepton scattering to the total neutrino opacity of matter is investigated; it is found that, contrary to previous beliefs, neutrino scattering dominates the neutrino opacity for many astrophysically important conditions. The rates for neutrino-electron scattering and antineutrino-electron scattering are given for a variety of conditions, including both degenerate and nondegenerate gases; the rates for some related reactions are also presented. Formulas are given for the mean scattering angle and the mean energy loss in neutrino and antineutrino scattering. Applications are made to the following problems: (a) the detection of solar neutrinos; (b) the escape of neutrinos from stars; (c) neutrino scattering in cosmology; and (d) energy deposition in supernova explosions.
