many compounds, as the aldehydes, the ketones, urea, carbonyl

carbon monoxide, it is chemically distinct, as carbon seems to be
divalent in carbon monoxide, but tetravalent in carbonyl
compounds. Carbonyl chloride(Chem.), a
colorless gas, COCl2, of offensive odor, and easily
condensable to liquid. It is formed from chlorine and carbon
monoxide, under the influence of light, and hence has been called
phosgene gas; -- called also carbon
oxychloride.
