TNT

TNT (trinitrotoluene) is a chemical compound widely used as an explosive, valued for its stability and ease of handling. When detonated, TNT rapidly decomposes, releasing a large amount of gas and energy in a fraction of a second, causing an explosive force. Chemically, it contains nitrogen and oxygen atoms that produce a powerful shockwave when broken down. TNT's consistent performance and relatively safe handling make it a standard explosive choice in demolition, mining, and military applications. It is also known for its distinctive appearance—a tan, solid crystal—and its characteristic smell.
