Cyanide and nitriles can be grouped together. A nitrile is an organic compound that contains a cyanide (CN) group.
However, other substances often called cyanide are not nitriles, including hydrogen cyanide, sodium cyanide, and potassium cyanide.

What the name of KCN?
Potassium Cyanide, because K is the symbol for Potassium and CN represents cyanide.
What is the name of the ion CN?
cyanide ionCannium (Cn)the polyatomic anion cyanide. compounds can be named such as Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) and Sodium cyanide (NaCN)
How much does cyanide cost?
The cost of cyanide can vary depending on the type of cyanide it is. One such is the cyanide tube which can cost about $116.
Why would cyanide be the same products favored by terrorist?
Cyanides are very toxic materials.
What is the formula for silver cyanide?
The molecular formula for silver cyanide is AgCN.Silver cyanide is often used in silver plating.
What is cynanide?
A cyanide is any chemical compound that contains the cyano group (C≡N), which consists of a carbon atomtriple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. Inorganic cyanides are hydrogen cyanide salts in which cyanide is generally the anion CN-. Organic compounds that have a -C≡N functional group bonded to an alkyl residue are callednitriles in IUPAC nomenclature. The cyanide radical CN is commonly produced in reactions[citation needed] and has been identified in interstellar space.[1] Of the many kinds of cyanide compounds, some are gases; others are solids or liquids. Those that can release the cyanide ion CN- are highly toxic to people and wildlife at relatively low concentrations[2].An example of a nitrile is CH3CN, acetonitrile or ethanenitrile per IUPAC, also known as methyl cyanide. Nitriles do not release cyanide ions. A functional group with a hydroxyl and cyanide on the same carbon is calledcyanohydrin, and it is hydrolyzed into hydrogen cyanide and a carbonyl compound (ketone or aldehyde).
How much Cyanide is in sodium cyanide?
The formula of sodium cyanide is NaCN Therefore no. of moles of sample of NaCN is the same as that of the no. of moles of CN- ions
What has the author Thomas Milton Beck written?
Thomas Milton Beck has written: 'The direct auration of aromatic nitriles ..' -- subject(s): Nitriles, Organogold compounds
What can cyanide be used for?
AnswerIndustrially, cyanide is used in addition of carbon to certain organic compounds and in gold ore processing. In society, it has been used as a form of execution (the gas chamber).
What colour is cyanide gas or vapour?
The Symbol for Cyanide is CN- The C is for Carbon, and the N for nitrogen.
Would potassium chloride and cyanide interfere if taken at the same time?
No. Potassium chloride will not protect you from the poisonous effects of potassium cyanide, in any way.
How does Danube Cyanide Spill poison animals?
Cyanide acts at the level of the cell mitochondria (the cell's energy factory) to stop the utilization of oxygen in the formation of energy (adenotriphosphates - ATP). Without this energy (ATP), cells cannot function and ultimately die. Cyanide has the same effect in humans... you can die of cyanide poisoning.
What the name of KCN?
Potassium Cyanide, because K is the symbol for Potassium and CN represents cyanide.
