A chemical compound containing chlorine and an azide group, used in some pharmaceutical and industrial applications.
From chlor- (from chlorine) + azide (nitrogen-containing chemical group from French azote, nitrogen). Formed in early-to-mid 20th century as chemists systematically named new organic compounds.
Chlorazide represents how chemistry naming works like building blocks—chemists combine known elements and functional groups to create thousands of new compounds, and the name itself tells you what's inside, like a chemical recipe.
