   Any one of a series of nitrogenous bases, resembling the
   amines and produced by the reduction of certain nitroso and

   They are derivatives of hydrazine proper, H2N.NH2, which is
   a doubled amido group, recently (1887) isolated as a stable,
   colorless gas, with a peculiar, irritating odor. As a base it
   forms distinct salts. Called also diamide, amidogen, (or
   more properly diamidogen), etc.
