TNT (Trinitrotoluene)

TNT, or trinitrotoluene, is a chemical compound commonly used as an explosive material. It is known for its stability and effectiveness, making it ideal for military and industrial applications. TNT can be stored and transported safely until it is detonated, which is triggered by a shock or heat. When it explodes, it produces a significant amount of gas and heat, resulting in a powerful blast. Its characteristic yellow color and solid form at room temperature have made it a recognizable symbol of explosives throughout history. TNT plays a crucial role in construction, demolition, and military operations.
