This group, known as the cyano groupconsists of a carbon atom triple-bonded
cyanide and happiness big dick a nitrogen atom. For the salts such as sodium cyanide and potassium cyanidethese compounds are highly toxic. It is obtained by acidification of cyanide salts. Organic cyanides are usually called nitriles. In nitriles, the CN group is linked by a covalent bond to carbon. For example, in acetonitrilethe cyanide group is bonded to methyl CH 3. Because they do not release cyanide ions, nitriles are generally far less toxic than cyanide salts.
