Understanding Trimolecular Molecules: Definition and Examples

Trimolecular refers to a molecule that consists of three atoms or groups of atoms. In other words, it is a molecule that has three functional groups or three bonded atoms.

For example, water (H2O) is a trimolecular molecule because it has three hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. Similarly, carbon dioxide (CO2) is also a trimolecular molecule because it has three oxygen atoms bonded to one carbon atom.

In contrast, a bimolecular molecule has only two functional groups or atoms, while a tetramolecular molecule has four functional groups or atoms.
