It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |
CYANOGEN, n. [Gr., blue, and to beget.] Carbureted azote, or carburet of nitrogen, the compound base of Prussic acid; otherwise called Prussine.
A colorless, inflammable, poisonous
gas, C2N2, with a peach-blossom odor, so
called from its tendency to form blue compounds; obtained
by heating ammonium oxalate, mercuric cyanide, etc. It is
obtained in combination, forming an alkaline cyanide when
nitrogen or a nitrogenous compound is strongly ignited with
carbon and soda or potash. It conducts itself like a member of
the halogen group of elements, and shows a tendency to form
complex compounds. The name is also applied to the univalent
radical, CN (the half molecule of cyanogen proper), which was one
of the first compound radicals recognized.
* Cyanogen is found in the commercial substances, potassium cyanide, or prussiate of potash, yellow prussiate of potash, Prussian blue, Turnbull's blue, prussic acid, etc. | ||||||||
