urea, the diamide of carbonic acid. Its formula is H2NCONH2. Urea has important uses as a fertilizer and feed supplement, as well as a starting material for the manufacture of plastics and drugs. It is a colourless, crystalline substance that melts at 132.7° C (271° F) and decomposes before boiling.
Urea, also called carbamide, is an organic compound with chemical formula CO(NH₂)₂. This amide has two amino groups joined by a carbonyl functional group. It is thus the simplest amide of carbamic acid.
