The quality or condition of being composed of two atoms, or the characteristic of forming diatomic molecules.
From diatomic + -ity (suffix denoting a state or quality). A technical term used in chemistry to describe molecular composition.
Diatomicity explains why some elements prefer to hang out in pairs—it's more stable and energetically favorable for certain atoms to bond with a partner rather than go solo.
