WHAT DOES CYANOGEN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cyanogen

Cyanogen is the chemical compound with the formula 2. It is a colorless, toxic gas with a pungent odor. The molecule is a pseudohalogen. Cyanogen molecules consist of two CN groups – analogous to diatomic halogen molecules, such as Cl2, but far less oxidizing. The two cyano groups are bonded together at their carbon atoms: N≡C−C≡N, although other isomers have been detected. Certain derivatives of cyanogen are also called "cyanogen" even though they contain only one CN group. For example cyanogen bromide has the formula NCBr. Cyanogen is the anhydride of oxamide: H2NCCNH2 → NCCN + 2 H2O although oxamide is manufactured from cyanogen by hydrolysis: NCCN + 2 H2O → H2NCCNH2...

Definition of cyanogen in the English dictionary
