di-nitrobenzene

Di-nitrobenzene is a chemical compound made of a benzene ring—an arrangement of six carbon atoms in a hexagon—with two nitro groups (-NO₂) attached to it. These nitro groups are groups of nitrogen and oxygen atoms that make the molecule more reactive and are important in the production of dyes, explosives, and other chemicals. Di-nitrobenzene exists in different forms depending on the positions of the nitro groups around the ring, affecting its properties and reactivity. It is manufactured through chemical reactions and plays a role in various industrial applications.
