• Hydrazoic — Pertaining to hydrazoic acid or derived from it; a term used to describe hydrazoic acid (HN3), an extremely volatile, toxic, and explosive gaseous compound consisting of a group of three nitrogen atoms bonded to a hydrogen atom, as well as its salts known as azides.
• Nitrite — A salt of nitrous acid containing the stable NO2 functional group; in modern chemical and industrial nomenclature, it is known as a nitrite, widely used in the food industry as a preservative and color stabilizer for meat products, or in metallurgy as a corrosion inhibitor.
• Nitrous acid — A systematic name rarely used to designate nitrous acid (HNO2) in correlation with its salts; also, a term applied in old records to the hydrated forms or unstable aqueous solutions of lower-valence nitrogen oxides.
• Azide — A binary chemical compound formed by the combination of nitrogen with a more electropositive element, usually a metal or a specific non-metal. Depending on the bond structure, they can be ionic, covalent, or interstitial, being characterized by high thermal stability for some metals or pronounced explosive properties, such as heavy metal azides used as detonators.
