In chemistry, cyanide (from Greek kyanos ' dark blue ') is a chemical compound that contains a C≡N functional group. This group, known as the cyano group, consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. [1] In inorganic cyanides, the cyanide group is present as the cyanide anion −C≡N. This anion is extremely poisonous.

Cyanides consist of one nitrogen atom and a carbon atom connected to each other with a triple bond. It is also known as c yanide anion or nitrile anion, cyanide ions. Certain algae, fungi, and bacteria can produce cyanide. It is also found in vehicle exhaust, spinach, almonds, tapioca, etc.

cyanide, any compound containing the monovalent combining group CN. In inorganic cyanides, such as sodium cyanide (NaCN), this group is present as the negatively charged cyanide ion; these compounds, which are regarded as salts of hydrocyanic acid, are highly toxic.

2023年12月20日 · Cyanide consists of a carbon atom triple bonded with a nitrogen atom. The chemical formula of cyanide is CN–. In this case, it’s a negative charge so it’s an anion.

2009年3月30日 · It is a conjugate base of a hydrogen cyanide and a hydrogen isocyanide. Cyanide is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). Cyanide is used in a number of industries and is found at low levels in air from car exhaust. Cyanide is extremely toxic to humans.

2023年5月15日 · Cyanide Structure. Cyanide consists of a carbon and nitrogen atom bonded together by a triple bond. The CN group is also known as the cyano group. In the cyanide anion, the carbon and nitrogen atoms contain lone pair of electrons.

2023年10月11日 · The Lewis structure of a cyanide [CN] – ion consists of a carbon (C) atom and a nitrogen (N) atom. The two atoms are connected via a triple covalent bond. There are a total of 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair around both C and N atoms respectively in CN – lewis structure.
