Two chemical terms (3,641 and 1,913 letters long) have appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records. They were withdrawn because they have never been used by chemists, and there is no theoretical limit to the length of possible legitimate chemical terms. A DNA molecule could have a name of over 1,000,000,000 letters if it was written out in full.
the longest word is.1,185 letter, you will have to got to website, system will not accept the whole word.
ACETYLSERYLTYROSYLSERYLISOLEUCYLTHREONYLSERYLPROLYL.......
= Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Strain.
This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

Floccinaucinihilipilification, the declaration of an item being useless, is the longest non-medical term in the English language.
The longest word in the English language (it's medical-related) is ‘pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis’ which describes a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of volcanic matter or a similar fine dust.

Pneumonoultramicro scopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is defined as "a disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, mostly found in volcanos".
(I have to split it or the system won't accept it)
