1. hydrogen cyanide

   Hydrogen cyanide is a colorless, extremely poisonous, and flammable liquid compound that boils slightly above room temperature and freezes just below. It has a bitter almond odor and is soluble in water. Its chemical formula is HCN. It is used industrially in the production of numerous chemical compounds, such as plastics, synthetic fibers, and dyes, and exists naturally in some plants and fruits. Exposure to high concentrations can be fatal to humans, as it interferes with the body's ability to use oxygen.

1. Hydrogen cyanide

   Hydrogen cyanide is an inorganic compound with chemical formula HCN. It is a colorless, extremely poisonous liquid that boils slightly above room temperature at 26 °C. Hydrogen cyanide is a linear molecule, with a triple bond between carbon and nitrogen. A minor tautomer of HCN is HNC, hydrogen isocyanide. Hydrogen cyanide is weakly acidic with a pKa of 9.2. It partially ionizes in water solution to give the cyanide anion, CN–. A solution of hydrogen cyanide in water is called hydrocyanic acid. The salts of hydrogen cyanide are known as cyanides. HCN has a faint, bitter, almond-like odor that some people are unable to detect owing to a genetic trait. The volatile compound has been used as inhalation rodenticide and human poison. Cyanide ions interfere with iron-containing respiratory enzymes. HCN is produced on an industrial scale and is a highly valuable precursor to many chemical compounds ranging from polymers to pharmaceuticals.
