Trinitrotoluene (TNT), or 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, is a chemical compound (C6H2(NO2)3CH3) primarily known as an explosive material. While occasionally used in chemical synthesis to create charge transfer salts, its main purpose lies in its explosive properties. TNT's explosive yield serves as the standard benchmark for comparing the power of bombs and asteroid impacts, making it a widely recognized measure of explosive force. Its convenient handling properties have contributed to its widespread use.
