In the narrow sense, a hypergolic rocket fuel used with nitrogen tetroxide It has the chemical formula N2H4 and is highly toxic and corrosive In the broader sense it refers to a number of chemically related hypergolic fuels including monomethyl hydrazine and unsymmetric dimethylhydrazine
a colorless fuming corrosive liquid; a powerful reducing agent; used chiefly in rocket fuels
Any one of a series of nitrogenous bases, resembling the amines and produced by the reduction of certain nitroso and diazo compounds; as, methyl hydrazine, phenyl hydrazine, etc
NH2, which is a doubled amido group, recently (1887) isolated as a stable, colorless gas, with a peculiar, irritating odor
hydrazine, N2H4, and its derivatives such as methylhydrazine CH3N2H3, or dimethylhydrazine (CH3)2N2H2, are oily liquids at room temperature with a slightly fishy odor They are commonly used propellents, either pure, or in various mixtures, together with N2O4 as an oxidizer, since the mixture is hypergolic
