Root Explanation

Bimolecular → It is formed from "bi-" (meaning two) and "molecular" (from Latin "molecula", meaning a small mass or particle). The word "bimolecular" refers to something that involves two molecules.

Memory Tip

Think of 'bi-' meaning two, and 'molecular' relating to small particles — so bimolecular describes something involving two small particles.
