Amino radical
Videos
In chemistry, the amino radical, ·NH2, also known as the aminyl or azanyl, is the neutral form of the amide ion. Aminyl radicals are highly reactive and consequently short-lived, like most radicals; h

Hydrazine is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula N2H4. It is a simple pnictogen hydride, and is a colourless flammable liquid with an ammonia-like odour. Hydrazine is highly hazardous unle
Amino radical
…like most radicals; however, they form an important part of nitrogen chemistry. In sufficiently high concentration, amino radicals dimerise to form hydrazine. While NH2 as a functional group is common in nature, forming a part of many compounds (e.g. the phenethylamines), the radical cannot be isolated in…
