Sodium azide is a versatile precursor to other inorganic azide compounds, e.g., lead azide and silver azide, which are used in detonators as primary explosives. These azides are significantly more sensitive to premature detonation than sodium azide and thus have limited applications. Lead and silver azide can be made via double displacement ...
Main group azido compounds are chemical compounds consisting of azide, N 3-bonded to a main group element. [1] [2]Azido compounds are often shock sensitive.Their sensitivity correlates with the amount of ionic or covalent character the azide-element bond has, with ionic character being far more stable than covalent character. [3]
In chemistry, azide (/ ˈ eɪ z aɪ d /, AY-zyd) is a linear, polyatomic anion with the formula N − 3 and structure − N=N + =N −.It is the conjugate base of hydrazoic acid HN 3. Organic azides are organic compounds with the formula RN 3, containing the azide functional group. [1]
Division 1.1: Substances and articles which have a mass explosion hazard Division 1.2: Substances and articles which have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard Division 1.3: Substances and articles which have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard
This is the list of extremely hazardous substances defined in Section 302 of the U.S. Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (42 U.S.C. § 11002). The list can be found as an appendix to 40 CFR 355. [1] Updates as of 2006 can be seen on the Federal Register, 71 FR 47121 (August 16, 2006). [2]
n.o.s. = not otherwise specified meaning a collective entry to which substances, mixtures, solutions or articles may be assigned if a) they are not mentioned by name in 3.2 Dangerous Goods List AND b) they exhibit chemical, physical and/or dangerous properties corresponding to the Class, classification code, packing group and the name and description of the n.o.s. entry [2]
Hydrazoic acid, also known as hydrogen azide, azic acid or azoimide, [2] is a compound with the chemical formula HN 3. [3] It is a colorless, volatile, and explosive liquid at room temperature and pressure. It is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, and is therefore a pnictogen hydride. It was first isolated in 1890 by Theodor Curtius. [4]
[41] [42] Both mercury (I) and mercury(II) azides can be easily prepared by mixing the respective mercury nitrates with sodium azide in aqueous solution at roomtemperature. [42] The mercury (II) azide Hg(N 3) 2 exists in two polymorphs α-Hg(N 3) 2 and β-Hg(N 3) 2. The β form is very labile and quickly turns into the α polymorphs at room ...
