Dear student,

Cyanides are characterized by the presence of cyano (-CN) group in their molecules. They are considered to be the derivatives of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in which H atom is replaced by alkyl or aryl group. If -CN group is linked to alkyl group, the compound is called alkyl cyanide, whereas if cyano group is linked to aryl group, the compound is an aryl cyanide.
