Why is it feminine?
Molécula is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from the Latin "molécula," the diminutive form of "moles" (mass/heap), which inherited the feminine gender of its parent noun "moles." Diminutive nouns in Latin typically maintained the gender of their base word, so the feminine ending -a in "molécula" reflects this classical grammatical inheritance.
