  2. Hydrazine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazine

    Hydrazine is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula N 2 H 4.It is a simple pnictogen hydride, and is a colourless flammable liquid with an ammonia-like odour.Hydrazine is highly hazardous unless handled in solution as, for example, hydrazine hydrate (N 2 H 4 ·xH 2 O).

  3. Hydrazines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazines

    Hydrazines (R 2 N−NR 2) are a class of chemical compounds with two nitrogen atoms linked via a covalent bond and which carry from one up to four alkyl or aryl substituents. . Hydrazines can be considered as derivatives of the inorganic hydrazine (H 2 N−NH 2), in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by hydrocarbon grou

  4. Alpha effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_effect

    The representative examples would be high nucleophilicities of hydroperoxide (HO 2 −) and hydrazine (N 2 H 4). [3] The effect is now well established with numerous examples and became an important concept in mechanistic chemistry and biochemistry. [4] However, the origin of the effect is still controversial without a clear winner.

  5. Chemical nomenclature - Wikipedia

    For example, the main constituent of white vinegar is CH 3 COOH , which is commonly called acetic acid and is also its recommended IUPAC name, but its formal, systematic IUPAC name is ethanoic acid. The IUPAC's rules for naming organic and inorganic compounds are contained in two publications, known as the Blue Book [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and the Red Book ...

  6. Monopropellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopropellant

    The most common use of monopropellants [3] is in low-impulse monopropellant rocket motors, [4] such as reaction control thrusters, the usual propellant being hydrazine [5] [6] which is generally decomposed by exposure to an iridium [7] [8] catalyst bed (the hydrazine is pre-heated to keep the reactant liquid).

  7. Monomethylhydrazine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomethylhydrazine

    Monomethylhydrazine (MMH) is a highly toxic, volatile hydrazine derivative with the chemical formula CH 6 N 2.It is used as a rocket propellant in bipropellant rocket engines because it is hypergolic with various oxidizers such as nitrogen tetroxide (N 2 O 4) and nitric acid (HNO 3).

  8. Hydrazine sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazine_sulfate

    Hydrazine sulfate has a number of uses in chemical laboratories and in the chemical industry, including analytical chemistry and the synthesis of organic compounds. In those uses it is usually preferred to pure hydrazine, because it is not volatile and is less susceptible to atmospheric oxidation on storage.

  9. English compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_compound

    Most English compound nouns that consist of more than two words can be constructed recursively by combining two words at a time. Combining "science" and "fiction", and then combining the resulting compound with "writer", for example, can construct the compound "science fiction writer" or "science-fiction writer".
