Hexatomic

/ˌhɛksəˈtɒmɪk/ adjective

Definition

In chemistry, describing a molecule that contains exactly six atoms.

Etymology

Compound of 'hex-' (six) and 'atomic' (from Greek 'atomos' meaning indivisible). The term developed in 19th-century chemistry as scientists categorized molecules by their atomic composition.

Kelly Says

Chemistry needed precise language to describe molecules, so scientists stacked Greek prefixes like building blocks—hexatomic is just their way of saying 'this molecule has exactly six atoms stuck together.'
