Carbazic

/kɑːrˈbeɪzɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or containing carbazine, a chemical compound used in organic synthesis and as a reagent in laboratories.

Etymology

Derived from 'carbazine' (from 'carb-' and '-azine,' referring to nitrogen-containing ring compounds) with the adjective suffix '-ic.'

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ic' in chemistry often marks adjectives describing compounds, but it also means you're talking about something's properties rather than the thing itself—'carbazic acid' is different from 'carbazine'!
