Compare with Definitions
Acrylonitrile
Acrylonitrile is an organic compound with the formula CH2CHCN. It is a colorless volatile liquid although commercial samples can be yellow due to impurities. It has a pungent odor of garlic or onions.
Nitrile
A nitrile is any organic compound that has a −C≡N functional group. The prefix cyano- is used interchangeably with the term nitrile in industrial literature.
Acrylonitrile
A colorless, liquid organic compound, C3H3N, used in the manufacture of acrylic rubber and fibers.
Nitrile
An organic molecule containing a CN group, an organic derivative of hydrocyanic acid.
Acrylonitrile
(organic compound) A toxic colourless liquid organic compound, CH2=CH.CN, synthesized from propylene and ammonia; used as a monomer in the production of acrylic resins and synthetic rubber.

Nitrile
An oil-resistant copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene, used especially for disposable gloves, gaskets, seals, and tubing. Also called nitrile rubber.
Acrylonitrile
A colorless liquid compound (H2C:CH.CN); used as raw material for acrylic fibers, and as a solvent.
Nitrile
(organic chemistry) any of a class of organic compounds containing a cyano functional group -C≡N; they are named as derivatives of the appropriate carboxylic acid.
Acrylonitrile
A colorless liquid unsaturated nitrile made from propene
Nitrile
A type of synthetic rubber formed by the copolymerisation of acrylonitrile and butadiene.
Nitrile
Any one of a series of compounds bearing the cyanide radical (-CN); particularly, one of those cyanides of alcohol radicals which, by boiling with acids or alkalies, produce a carboxyl acid, with the elimination of the nitrogen as ammonia.
Nitrile
Any of a class of organic compounds containing the cyano radical -CN
