What is the difference?
- 1Stability: TNT is more stable and less sensitive to shock or heat than nitroglycerin.
- 2Volatility: Nitroglycerin is more volatile and unstable than TNT.
- 3Uses: Nitroglycerin has medical uses in addition to its explosive applications, while TNT is primarily used for construction and demolition.
- 4Strength: Nitroglycerin is more powerful than TNT in terms of explosive force.
- 5History: Nitroglycerin was discovered and developed earlier than TNT, which was invented as a safer alternative to nitroglycerin.
Remember this!
TNT and nitroglycerin are both powerful explosives used in construction, demolition, and military applications. However, TNT is more stable and less volatile than nitroglycerin, making it a safer choice for many applications. While nitroglycerin is more powerful, it is also more dangerous and requires careful handling. Additionally, nitroglycerin has medical uses, while TNT is primarily used for construction and demolition.
