This molecule has two amine-NH 2 groups linked to a carbonyl-CO-group. Urea plays a very important role in the metabolism of nitrogen and forms a major part of the urinary tract of the mammary gland. Urea is colorless, odorless, etc., and so on. Acid. It is very soluble in water, etc. It is toxic and its major use in agricultural fertilizers. Urea was first discovered in 1773 by the French chemist Hilaire Rouelle. In 1828, German chemist Friedrich Urea was obtained by reacting silver isocyanate with ammonium chloride. This was the first time an organic compound was synthesized from an organic compound.

Safety Information:
Urea causes itching of the skin and eyes and has respiratory complications. Continuous exposure to the skin causes swelling of the skin. Its high concentration in the blood causes damage to the organs of the body. Heat it above the melting point causes it to decompose and generates toxic vapors. Normally not flammable, but mixing with strong oxidants such as nitride causes explosion.
