Trinitrobenzene

Trinitrobenzene is a highly reactive compound that is used in explosives.

Chemical Formula: C6H3N3O6
Other names: 1,2,4-Trinitrobenzene
Layman's explanation: Trinitrobenzene is a yellow crystal-like solid at room temperature, which is tasteless and odorless. It was created synthetically about two decades ago, but because of the high price of creation, it is only now being used in many new areas of explosives. Trinitrobenzene is used to create highly explosive materials. It can be used to blast through mountains while creating roads or in Army explosives.
