First and foremost, we need to clarify that no known chemical compound exists with the formula N2H34. This might be a typo or misunderstanding. One of the common chemical compounds which involves nitrogen and hydrogen is hydrazine (N2H4).
- Definition of N2H4:
Hydrazine is a colorless, flammable compound that smells a bit like ammonia. It is used in many industrial applications, including the manufacturing of explosives, pesticides, and catalysts.
1.1 Common name: Hydrazine
1.2 Atomic constituents: Nitrogen (N) and Hydrogen (H)
1.3 Molar mass: 32.05 g/mol
1.4 Structure: Each hydrazine molecule contains two nitrogen atoms linked by a single bond, each nitrogen atom is additionally linked to two hydrogen atoms.

Properties
2.1 Physical properties: It is a colorless liquid, flammable, and smells like ammonia.
2.2 Chemical properties: Hydrazine is highly reactive, it can react with oxygen or compounds containing oxygen to produce water and nitrogen.
4.1 Laboratory preparation: Hydrazine can be prepared from ammonia and chloramine by using high temperatures.
4.2 Industrial preparation: On an industrial scale, hydrazine is commonly produced from ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.
It is crucial for high school students to know that working with hydrazine requires extreme caution as it can cause fires and explosions. Additionally, both hydrazine vapor and liquid are toxic and can cause irritation to the eyes, respiratory tract, and skin.
