Most explosives contain nitrogen compounds because these compounds often have high stability and can release large amounts of energy when they undergo combustion or decomposition reactions. Nitrogen compounds such as nitroglycerin and TNT have nitrogen atoms that form strong bonds, making them highly reactive and explosive when triggered. Additionally, the presence of nitrogen allows for the release of small gas molecules during combustion, generating a rapid expansion of gases that results in an explosive force.
