A chemical compound containing two azide groups (-N₃), used in synthetic organic chemistry and explosives.
From 'di-' (two) and 'azide' (a compound with a nitrogen-nitrogen group), following chemical nomenclature for compounds with multiple identical functional groups.
Diazides are notoriously unstable and explosive—chemists handle them with extreme caution, which is why you'll almost never encounter them outside a laboratory setting, making them one of chemistry's most dangerous compounds.
