Answer 2

Urea, also known as carbamide, is an organic compound with the chemical formula $CO(NH_{2} )_{2}$.

Urea:

• Urea, also known as carbamide, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CO (NH₂).
• This amide has two –NH₂ groups connected by a carbonyl functional group.
• Urea plays an important role in the metabolism of nitrogenous compounds by animals and is the main nitrogen-containing substance in the urine of mammals.
• Urea is used to treat dry / rough skin conditions (such as eczema, psoriasis, corns, calluses) and some nail problems (such as ingrown nails).
