noun
chemistry
A chemical compound built around a small chain of three nitrogen atoms, formed from hydrazoic acid or its salts.
An azide is a chemical compound distinguished by a small group of three linked nitrogen atoms attached to another element or radical. Sodium azide, the best known example, is stored under pressure inside car airbags and releases nitrogen gas almost instantly on impact. Chemists also use azides in industrial synthesis and in explosives, because the nitrogen group is unstable and breaks apart with sudden force.
