A chemical compound containing a hydrazine group bonded to a carbon atom, used in organic synthesis and photography.
From 'carb-' (carbon) and '-azide' (a functional group containing three connected nitrogen atoms). The term developed in 19th-century organic chemistry.
Carbazides were crucial in early photography chemistry—they helped create light-sensitive compounds—so some of your great-grandparents' family photos exist because of this obscure molecule!
