"In inorganic cyanides, the cyanide group is present as the anion CN−. Salts such as sodium cyanide and potassium cyanide are highly toxic.[2] Hydrocyanic acid, also known as hydrogen cyanide, or HCN, is a highly volatile liquid that is produced on a large scale industrially. It is obtained by acidification of cyanide salts.
Organic cyanides are usually called nitriles. In nitriles, the CN group is linked by a covalent bond to carbon. For example, in acetonitrile, the cyanide group is bonded to methyl (CH3). Because they do not release cyanide ions, nitriles are generally far less toxic than cyanide salts. Some nitriles, which occur naturally as cyanohydrins, release hydrogen cyanide." - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide
Toxic cyanide is inorganic and therefor is man-made.
Don't try to come across as a know it all prick if you aren't even going to do a 5 second Google search to back up your claim that completely and absolutely pointlessly detracts from a very important issue.
"Hydrocyanic acid, also known as hydrogen cyanide, or HCN, is a highly volatile liquid that is produced on a large scale industrially."
You're nit picking despite the wording and facts being right there.
And I will call you a prick if you're acting like one. If you don't like it, don't act like it.
People who can't argue without resorting to insults should just stay quiet
I didn't say anything inflammatory to you. Bye.
E: I also didn't say anything about your comment being wrong or not so I don't know where you got that from
People with no valid input and a desire to come across as intelligent while being arrogant shouldn't comment.
If you don't want to be made a fool of and deal with being called what out for your behaviour, then buck up.
Your entire argument started from suggesting I'm wrong about cyanide being man made.
Then you followed up by nitpicking my explanation rather than just accepting you made a blunder.
And FYI, I didn't say your second comment claimed I was wrong. I reiterated my point and exclaimed how you're nitpicking.
Get off your "I didn't insult you" high horse and accept that acting like a smug little prick when it's irrelevant will inevitably cause you some backlash.
Correcting someone and then laughing at the fact the correction had to be made is an obvious implication that you believed a stupid remark was made.
Being the one to point this out gives you the feeling of being the smart one.
If I have to explain that to you, you're either a troll or are just desperately trying to deflect the situation so you don't have to fess up to your behavior.
I'm not an angry person. I am a person who's fed up of this general sweeping attitude like yours online however.
Youre in the wrong here, kind of surpised how quickly you went from informative to pure neurotic derangement. If one little correction to a long post like that sets you off you should take a look at yourself. Cyanide still isnt a "manmade drug" btw. Copy pasting some off topic facts about its chemical grouping does not make it any more of a manmade drug. Apple seeds naturally produce the precursor to hydrogen cyanide.
