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 · x H 2 O ).
Tetranitrogen is a neutrally charged polynitrogen allotrope of the chemical formula N 4 and consists of four nitrogen atoms. The tetranitrogen cation is the positively charged ion, N + 4, which is more stable than the neutral tetranitrogen molecule and is thus more studied.
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). As a propellant, it is described in specification MIL-PRF ...
The main purpose of chemical nomenclature is to disambiguate the spoken or written names of chemical compounds: each name should refer to one compound. Secondarily, each compound should have only one name, although in some cases some alternative names are accepted. Preferably, the name should also represent the structure or chemistry of a compound.
Hydrazine sulfate, more properly hydrazinium hydrogensulfate, is a salt of the cation hydrazinium and the anion bisulfate (hydrogensulfate), with the formula N 2 H 6 SO 4 or more properly [N 2 H 5] + [HSO 4] −. It is a white, water-soluble solid at room temperature.
This practice has been abandoned in later publications. [13] IUPAC policy differentiate proper names from things named after proper names. This rule (full name uncapitalized but symbol capitalized) applies also to isotopes and nuclides, when completely written out: thus 14 C but carbon-14.
To avoid long and tedious names in normal communication, the official IUPAC naming recommendations are not always followed in practice, except when it is necessary to give an unambiguous and absolute definition to a compound. IUPAC names can sometimes be simpler than older names, as with ethanol, instead of ethyl alcohol. For relatively simple ...
Dinitrogen tetroxide, commonly referred to as nitrogen tetroxide (NTO), and occasionally (usually among ex-USSR/Russian rocket engineers) as amyl, is the chemical compound N 2 O 4. It is a useful reagent in chemical synthesis. It forms an equilibrium mixture with nitrogen dioxide. Its molar mass is 92.011 g/mol.
