Nitroglycerin

Nitroglycerin is a chemical compound that is primarily used in two fields: medicine and explosives. In medicine, it is prescribed to treat chest pain (angina) by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen to the heart. In the context of explosives, nitroglycerin is a highly powerful and sensitive substance, known for its use in dynamite. It can explode with great force when subjected to shock or heat. While effective in both applications, it requires careful handling due to its volatile nature.
