| (n.) A colorless inflammable poisonous gas C2N2 with a peach-blossom odor so called from its tendency to form blue compounds; obtained by heating ammonium oxalate mercuric cyanide etc. It is obtained in combination forming an alkaline cyanide when nitrogen or a nitrogenous compound is strongly ignited with carbon and soda or potash. It conducts itself like a member of the halogen group of elements and shows a tendency to form complex compounds. The name is also applied to the univalent radical CN (the half molecule of cyanogen proper) which was one of the first compound radicals recognized. |
