Cadmium azide explained

Cadmium azide is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula . It is composed of the cadmium cation and the azide anions .

Properties

Cadmium azide is colorless and crystalline powder. It is highly sensitive to pressure, and is explosive akin to most other azides.[1] It has a high temperature resistance, and also possesses good detonation ability. Because of this, cadmium azide is expected to be applicable within microinitiating systems.[2]
