Why is it feminine?

Moléculas is feminine because it derives from the Latin "molecula," the diminutive form of "moles" (mass/heap), and Latin diminutives ending in "-cula" are inherently feminine, a gender that Spanish preserved. This is a regular pattern rather than an exception, as Spanish feminine nouns often retain the gender of their Latin origins.
