Question map
Which one of the following is the physical form of TNT?
Explanation
TNT, or Trinitrotoluene (C7H5N3O6), is a well-known explosive material. At standard room temperature and pressure, TNT is a pale yellow, odorless solid. It has a relatively low melting point of approximately 80.35 °C (176.63 °F), which allows it to be safely melted and poured into shells or molds in liquid form during manufacturing, but its stable physical state under normal conditions is solid. It is preferred in military and industrial applications because it is chemically stable and relatively insensitive to friction, shock, or agitation compared to other explosives like nitroglycerin (which is a liquid).
