Cyanide is not a substance in itself but refers to a radical -CN which attaches readily to elements such as potassium and sodium to form such compounds as potassium cyanide KCN, and sodium cyanide NaCN, both of which are extremely poisonous.
In any case, these compounds are known as salts and could be considered minerals whether or not they are naturally occurring.

Is cyanide a very heavy sulfate mineral?
no cyanide = CN, a compound of carbon and nitrogen, and lethal to any organism that uses oxygen respiration.
What the name of KCN?
Potassium Cyanide, because K is the symbol for Potassium and CN represents cyanide.
What is the name of the ion CN?
cyanide ionCannium (Cn)the polyatomic anion cyanide. compounds can be named such as Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) and Sodium cyanide (NaCN)
What is the pH of cyanide?
The pH of cyanide is about 6.4 in water. Cyanide is a weak acid and dissociates partially in water to form hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and cyanide ion (CN-).
What is the formula for ammouium cyanide?
The formula for ammonium cyanide is NH4CN.
What is the formula for silver cyanide?
The molecular formula for silver cyanide is AgCN.Silver cyanide is often used in silver plating.
Does cyanide contain carbon?
Yes, cyanide contains carbon. Cyanide is a chemical compound composed of one carbon atom and one nitrogen atom, often found in the form of hydrogen cyanide or sodium cyanide.
Are cyanide and nitriles same?
Cyanide is a specific ion with a C≡N- chemical formula, which is highly toxic to humans. Nitriles are a broader class of organic compounds that contain a C≡N functional group but may not be as toxic as cyanide. So, while cyanide is a type of nitrile, not all nitriles are cyanide.
How much Cyanide is in sodium cyanide?
Sodium cyanide is approximately 53% cyanide by weight.
Who found the taste of cyanide?
