The first real explosive was Nitroglycerin. It was far too dangerous for stationary use. A much safer explosive called dynamite. This includes nitroglycerin and wood pulp. That's about it . Surely gunpowder was they first commonly available explosive? Nitroglycerin came several hundred years later.
Nitroglycerin is the explosive component of dynamite but it is not in its pure form in dynamite: it is stabilized in a clay-like substance. Pure nitroglycerin is to unstable to be stored or transported for everyday used. It is very easy to set off accidentally, hence the need to be stabilized.
The main explosive ingredient in dynamite is nitroglycerin.
The likely word is dynamite (early nitroglycerin-based explosive).
Nitrogen is an element with 7 protons. Its chemical symbol is "N" Nitro is a common short term used for nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin is heavy, colorless, oily, explosive liquid with the chemical formula C3H5N3O9
It is made out of explosive materials and compounds. Such as potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate which are explosive and used to make bombs. It first have a hard case filled with sawdust or a hard material that absorbs energy. That material is soaked with nitroglycerin which is an explosive chemical. Then a charger or cap covers it attached to a plug or fuse that detonates it. But getting nitroglycerin is sometimes dangerous so people mostly use potassium nitrate of ammonium nitrate for making dynamite.
Nitroglycerin (C3H5N3O9) is a yellow liquid that's explosive near sudden heat. It's used to produce dynamite and as a medicine vasodilator.
