Chemical compound
Cadmium azide is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula Cd(N3)2. It is composed of the cadmium cation (Cd2+) and the azide anions (N−3).
Properties
Cadmium azide is colorless and crystalline powder. It is highly sensitive to pressure, and is explosive akin to most other azides.[1] It has a high temperature resistance, and also possesses good detonation ability. Because of this, cadmium azide is expected to be applicable within microinitiating systems.[2]
