  2. Ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate

    Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula NH 4 NO 3. It is a white crystalline salt consisting of ions of ammonium and nitrate. It is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic as a solid, but does not form hydrates. It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. [5]

  3. Ammonium azide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_azide

    Ammonium azide is the chemical compound with the formula [N H 4]N 3, being the salt of ammonia and hydrazoic acid. Like other inorganic azides, this colourless crystalline salt is a powerful explosive, although it has a remarkably low sensitivity. [NH 4]N 3 is physiologically active and inhalation of small amounts causes headaches and palpitations.

  4. Ammonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium

    It is a positively charged molecular ion with the chemical formula NH + 4 or [NH 4] +. It is formed by the addition of a proton (a hydrogen nucleus) to ammonia ( NH 3 ). Ammonium is also a general name for positively charged (protonated) substituted amines and quaternary ammonium cations ( [NR 4 ] + ), where one or more hydrogen atoms are ...

  5. Ceric ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceric_ammonium_nitrate

    Ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) is the inorganic compound with the formula (NH 4) 2 [Ce(NO 3) 6]. This orange-red, water-soluble cerium salt is a specialised oxidizing agent in organic synthesis and a standard oxidant in quantitative analysis.

  6. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

    Ammonia is an inorganic chemical compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula N H 3.A stable binary hydride and the simplest pnictogen hydride, ammonia is a colourless gas with a distinctive pungent smell.

  9. Calcium ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_ammonium_nitrate

    The term "calcium ammonium nitrate" is applied to multiple different, but closely related formulations. One variety of calcium ammonium nitrate is made by adding powdered limestone to ammonium nitrate; [1] [2] another, fully water-soluble version, is a mixture of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, which crystallizes as a hydrated double salt: [3] 5Ca(NO 3) 2 •NH 4 NO 3 •10H 2 O.
