I-sodium cyanide, eyaziwa nangokuthi i- kaempferol noma i- kaempferol sodium, iyinhlanganisela enamandla enezinhlobonhlobo zezicelo. Igama layo lesiShayina yi-sodium cyanide, ekhombisa ukuthandwa kwayo ezimbonini ezahlukahlukene emhlabeni jikelele. I-compound, enefomula yamakhemikhali ye-NaCN kanye nesisindo samangqamuzana angu-49.007, idonsele ukunakwa okuningi ngezakhiwo zayo eziyingqayizivele kanye nokuhlukahluka.
Inombolo yokubhalisa ye-CAS ye-sodium cyanide ngu-143-33-9, futhi inombolo yokubhalisa ye-EINECS ngu-205-599-4. Kuyimpushana emhlophe ecwebezelayo enephuzu lokuncibilika elingu-563.7°C kanye nendawo yokubilisa engu-1496°C. Ukuncibilika kwayo emanzini kanye nokuminyana okuncibilika kalula kwe-1.595 g/cm3 kwenza kube lula ukukusebenzisa ezinhlelweni ezihlukahlukene. Ngokuqondene nokubukeka, i-sodium cyanide igqama ngendlela yayo eyimpushana emhlophe ebabazekayo, ingeza ukuthinta kobuhle kunoma iyiphi inqubo yezimboni.
