Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) is a highly toxic conjugate acid of cyanide which mainly functions as a chemical weapon agent. It is a one-carbon compound comprising a methine group triple bonded to a nitrogen atom. It plays the role of an Escherichia coli metabolite, a human metabolite, and a poison.

Hydrogen cyanide appears to be a clear colourless liquid (or pale-blue liquid or gas) that has a faint odour resembling bitter almonds. Its smell can lead to irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, as well as toxic systemic effects. Its vapours are lighter than air. This is a dangerous transparent liquid, and its storage and transport are prohibited. Workers exposed to it can suffer fatal consequences. It is a great solvent for many salts. However, it is not widely used as a solvent due to its toxicity.

It is a stable compound in its pure form but readily polymerizes in the presence of basic substances like ammonia or sodium cyanide. It is soluble in water and ethanol. It's a highly volatile and extremely poisonous liquid. It has a boiling, melting and freezing point of 26° C, -13.4 °C and -14° C, respectively. It HCN has a molar mass of 27.0253 g/mol and a density of 687 kg/m³.

Hydrogen Cyanide is a chemical with wide usage across many chemical processes like fumigation, electroplating, the case hardening of iron and steel, and the concentration of ores. It is used to prepare acrylonitrile and dyes, which are employed to produce acrylic fibres, synthetic rubber, and plastics. Furthermore, it can be used as a fumigant to kill pests like rodents in warehouses, greenhouses, grain storage bins, and holds of ships since it has high toxicity and can penetrate obscure spaces. In addition, it also finds use as a horticultural fumigant.
