Nitroglycerin

Nitroglycerin, also known as nitroglycerine, trinitroglycerin, trinitroglycerine, nitro, glyceryl trinitrate, or 1,2,3-trinitroxypropane, is a heavy, colorless, oily, explosive liquid most commonly produced by nitrating glycerol with white fuming nitric acid under conditions appropriate to the formation of the nitric acid ester. Chemically, the substance is an organic nitrate compound rather than a nitro compound, yet the traditional name is often retained.
