Nitrogen chemical explosive

Of the eight nonmetals listed in Table 21.1, nitrogen is by far the least reactive. Its inertness is due to the strength of the triple bond holding the N2 molecule together (B.E. N=N = 941 kj/mol). This same factor explains why virtually all chemical explosives are compounds of nitrogen (e.g., nitroglycerin, trinitrotoluene, ammonium nitrate,... [Pg.555]

Nitric acid is an important industrial chemical (approximately 8 million tons produced annually) used in the manufacture of many products, such as nitrogen-based explosives and ammonium nitrate for use as a fertilizer. [Pg.902]

Nitrogen has long been a component of chemical explosives (Safra and Goulka 1997). Black powder, invented by the Chinese about 1000 years ago is a mixture of potassium nitrate (saltpetre), sulfur and charcoal. More recently, nitrogen-containing organic compounds (e.g., trinitrotoluene or TNT, nitroglycerin, and picric acid plus... [Pg.1268]
