Diatomic

/ˌdaɪ.əˈtɑm.ɪk/ adjective

Definition

Consisting of or containing two atoms, especially referring to molecules that are made up of exactly two atoms bonded together.

Etymology

From Greek di- 'two' + atomos 'that which cannot be cut or divided.' The term emerged in chemistry to describe molecular composition.

Kelly Says

Oxygen gas (O₂) and nitrogen gas (N₂) are diatomic—they exist naturally as pairs rather than singles, and most of the air you're breathing right now is diatomic molecules!
