tHE mOLECULE
Urea's molecular formula is CH4N2O and its molecular weight is 60.5526 g/mol. It contains 1 carbon, 4 hydrogens, 2 nitrogens and one oxygen. The Urea molecule, like its individual elements within, is a nonmetal.
The percent composition of each element:
Urea has the chemical and pysichal properties that make it a unique molecule. Urea is non flammable, has high solubility in water and is non toxic. Objectiveley, urea is a white in solid form, solid in room temperature and is generally odorless (if not , it has a slight ammonia smell). Its melting point is at 133 C as its boiling point is at 135 C. If tempted to do so, Urea has a cool, saline taste. Its density is 1323 kg/m3 at 20C
The percent composition of each element:
- C (12.01g/mol / 60.5526g/mol) x 100 = 19.94% C
- H ((1.008g/mol*4) / 60.5526g/mol) x 100 = 6.760% H
- N ((14.01g/mol*2) / 60.5526g/mol) x 100 = 46.67% N
- O (16.00g/mol / 60.5526g/mol) x 100 = 26.63% O
Urea has the chemical and pysichal properties that make it a unique molecule. Urea is non flammable, has high solubility in water and is non toxic.

uses and other names
Urea is an organic molecule that has many useful abilities; it can be applied for nitrogen excretion, fertilizer, marine plywood, dish soap and a flavor additive in cigarettes. Urea can also be found as a moisturizer found in the outermost layer of the skin. The molecule's power range in ability. It can reduce NO pollutants in vehicles and it can also be used as an explosive when bidden with nitrate.It can be prepared to form a solution such as plant fertilizer, benzoic acid, ureaphil and in forms of aqueous solutions. Unlike human names, Urea has various different names including the following: carbamide, carbonyl diamide, carbonyl diamide, diaminomethanal, diaminomethanone.
