अवलोकन

TNT is a yellow solid explosive that is one of the most commonly used military and commercial explosives. Despite being an explosive, it is remarkably stable and requires a detonator to explode. A tonne of TNT is the standard unit for measuring explosive energy.

उपयोग

  • • Military explosive
  • • Mining and demolition
  • • Energy equivalent standard (kiloton, megaton)
  • • Dyestuff intermediate (historical)

रोचक तथ्य

  • ✦ The 'kiloton' and 'megaton' used to measure nuclear weapons are in TNT-equivalents
  • ✦ TNT was initially used as a yellow dye before its explosive potential was realized

सुरक्षा

  • ⚠ Explosive (requires detonator)
  • ⚠ Toxic (liver damage)
  • ⚠ Skin absorption causes yellow staining
  • ⚠ Environmental contaminant at military sites
