Nitroglycerine

Nitroglycerine is a very powerful explosive that can go BOOM! if we're not very careful with it. It's made up of special chemicals that are mixed together to create a highly explosive liquid. The liquid is very sensitive and can easily explode if it's dropped, shaken or heated up too much.

Nitroglycerine has been used for a long, long time to make things go BOOM! It was originally used to make bombs for the army but now it's mostly used for blasting things like rocks or tunnels. We have to be really careful when we use nitroglycerine because it can cause a lot of damage if it's not used properly.

So, basically, nitroglycerine is a very powerful and dangerous explosive that needs to be handled with great care. We should always leave it to the experts to handle and use it safely.
