Deoxyribonucleic acid. Quite a big word but there are longer ones, especially in science
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest word in the main dictionaries. It’s a lung disease you can get from breathing silica particles from a volcano. So not something I worry about too much.
Words like these are one of the reasons I always liked physics better than chemistry and biology. Most physics words are pretty small, like mass, energy, force etc.
I’m not kidding about this – I bet most chemists have better memories than physicists.
