Primers

Primers, or Primary High Explosives, are super sensitive explosives that do not take much to be initiated. Typical primer mixes contain lead styphnate, lead (II) azide, tetracene, mercury fulminate, or an antimony-sulfide mixture, and a grit which further sensitizes the mix when crushed by compression. [1] Primary explosives are often a heavy metal attached to an … Continue reading Primers

Azidoazide Azide (1-Diazidocarbamoyl-5-azidotetrazole)

Azidoazide azide (C4N14) is commonly referred to as the most ~explosive~ molecule in the world. This is due to it containing 14 nitrogen atoms and no hydrogen atoms. None of the nitrogen bonds are triple bonds, which for nitrogen is it's most stable and desirable form. No naturally this molecule doesn't feel comfortable existing the … Continue reading Azidoazide Azide (1-Diazidocarbamoyl-5-azidotetrazole)
