Why is a concave lens called a scattering lens?

A concave lens can also be called a scattering lens, since, unlike a converging lens, it does not concentrate the rays at one point – the focus, but on the contrary, the rays, falling into it, diverge in different directions with a light beam.

The image, unlike a collecting lens, will turn out not inverted, but straight, since the light rays do not change places, and it will also be considered imaginary, since the light rays do not intersect with each other. And reduced, because the image is formed less than the subject.
