Nitroglycerine is extremely sensitive to shock and in the early days, when impure nitroglycerine was used, it was very difficult to predict under which conditions nitroglycerine would explode.
Alfred Nobel studied these problems in detail, and was the first to produce nitroglycerine on an industrial scale. His first major invention was a blasting cap igniter , a wooden plug filled with black gunpowder, which could be detonated by lighting a fuse. This in turn, caused an explosion of the surrounding nitroglycerine. Mar 24, Sorry to hear that, Bob. Try again on another device and hopefully it will work!
Apr 20, Akira Mar 29, I asked the same question. Im glad i got an answer. I love this website. Apr 1, Hi, Akira! We're glad you're finding answers to your questions! Thanks for stopping by! Mar 15, Hi I was wondering if I could have the citation for this page?
Calia Feb 4, Feb 4, Welcome, Calia! Someone Feb 3, Jul 19, Hi, Wonder Friend! We're not sure about that. Thanks for stopping by Wonderopolis! Hii I have an assiment and i was wondering is this really how dynamite works, because thats one of the questions and your website was the only good one i could find.
Pls answear. Feb 3, Sorry I ruined my last message I got confused but I found it very interesting. Jun 21, It was very intresting but the video didn't work.
Jan 25, Apr 27, Hi, coolkidalex! I found it very interesting how they had to keep the air fresh and how they sink and float.
Thank you for making this. Max Jun 18, Wonderopolis Jun 19, Jack May 31, I loved today's wonder. It's SO awesome! Someday, will you make one on how thread is made?
I think that' debate cool too if there already is one let me know. Wonderopolis May 31, Max May 31, Sorry that I didn't put an actual name and stuff but I just didn't want to give out personal info. Thank you guys so much for this info. It's helping me so much on a science project for school. Most other sites are just copyrighting "Not Trustworthy" stuff from like Wikipedia and ask.
Wonderopolis Apr 15, Tyler Jarvis Dec 7, Wonderopolis Dec 7, Yikes, we hope you're being safe, Tyler J! But you're right Julie Jun 26, Wonderopolis Jun 26, Jessica Jun 23, Hey, I am also from Mrs. G's class. Wonderopolis Jun 24, Hi, I am also from Mrs.
I thought that video was cool. Paige Jun 23, Dear Wonderopolis, Cool wonder! Dynamite is a type of bomb or explosive and when lit with a match or some sort of fire giver, it will take a few seconds for the fire to reach the end of the rope and explode. I also love the song by Taio Cruz!!! I think tomorrow's wonder is about robots or glaciers.
Wonderopolis Jun 23, I wonder how lava lamps are made and what would happen if you put real lava in lava lamps. Hi I'm also from Mrs. The wonderopolis stuff is cool. I like the part when the stick of dynamite blew up the building. Bye, see you tomorrow!!!! Awesomeness :3 Jun 22, Can you guys do a Wonder on Tasmanian Devils??!! They're soo awesome!! I think tomorrow's Wonder will probably be about artificial limbs.
If its not, can you do one on artificial limbs? Carlos a. Jun 22, And I know what tomorrow's wonder is, drum roll, please"ddddddddddddddddddd!
Because it said "act like people! Wonderopolis Jun 22, Hi, I'm Brady. I am also from Ms. I love watching bugs bunny. I can't wait for tomorrow's wonder. Marie Jun 22, Hi wonderopolis! I am sad 'cause my sister went away for overnight camp for a week.
LKvolleyballGirl Jun 22, I was wrong once again about the wonder today. Tomorrow's wonder is definitely about robots! One of the most powerful explosive chemicals known to us is PETN , which contains nitro groups which are similar to that in TNT and the nitroglycerin in dynamite. But the presence of more of these nitro groups means it explodes with more power.
It is now also used in the exploding-bridgewire detonators in nuclear weapons. Among the least stable nitrogen-explosives is aziroazide azide which has 14 nitrogen atoms, with most of them bonded to each other in successive, unstable nitrogen-nitrogen bonds — making them prone to explosion. Attempts to touch or handle this chemical and some may say so much as even look at can cause it to detonate, breaking those bonds and turning them into multiple molecules of rapidly expanding nitrogen gas.
The reaction creates a huge amount of heat and so only tiny amounts of this chemical have ever been synthesised for testing — which have blown up inside expensive pieces of analysis equipment on many occasions. This list is by no means comprehensive — there are plenty of other explosive chemicals at the disposal of chemists and industrialists.
But these are among the most famous and dangerous non-nuclear chemicals to date. What's next for the Midlands' economy after Covid and Brexit?
