Diplumbic

/dɪˈplʌmbɪk/ adjective

Definition

Containing or relating to two atoms or molecules of lead in a chemical compound.

Etymology

From Greek 'diplos' (double) and Latin 'plumbum' (lead), formed in chemistry nomenclature to describe compounds with dual lead components.

Kelly Says

The prefix 'di-' meaning 'two' appears in hundreds of chemistry terms, and diplumbic is part of that systematic naming language that lets scientists describe exactly how many of each atom they're dealing with.
