Contact Explosive - Detonating Nitrogen Triiodide
Nitrogen Triiodide is an extremely sensitive explosive compound that, when dry, can be detonated by the lightest of touches or vibrations. For this reason, it should never be contained or transport...

Air is a mixture of several elements, mainly nitrogen, and oxygen, and trace amounts of the noble gases. But this wasn't realised for hundreds of years, and this is because you can't see these elements. They're invisible. But there's one element that has such a beautiful colour in the gas phase it was actually named because of this. And it was named by Sir Humphry Davy. Some experiments and observations on a new substance which becomes a violet-colored gas by heat, by Sir Humphry Davy, January 20, 1814. "A new and very curious substance has recently occupied the attention of chemists of Paris. The substance appears as a vapour of a beautiful violet colour." Davy notes that when the new substance is exposed to liqui...
