did they ever used this stuff in like wars ?

[champagnerocker]

This has no uses whatsoever due to its extreme instability.

Explosives are no good if they detonate when in the back of a lorry on the way to the front line or whilst you are trying to load them into artillery

That isn't nice :(

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* ammonia(NH3) and iodine(I) in this make nitrogen triiodide(NI3) and filtration, is this very dangerous, very sensitive explosion, is not a work!

make ten pounds and see what happens

[hunterziegelmann]

They might've had a war chemist to point out if gas is in area and to make this stuff there but it wouldn't had been practical enough for them so they didn't.

I did this when I was 14, half my lifetime ago. I would generally rate the making of this ages 15 and up, but you should be a nerd with above average common sense.

I can also share some experience, if you store it under water for very long, it will eventually stop working.

the feather... *sob*

[anish4]

Is this the same substance used in brainiac

[brajac100]

how do you make it

[ChemXu]

1. Nitrogen triiodide isn't usually stored, and if it is, it is stored wet in a paste.

2. When making Nitrogen Triiodide, you have to let it dry, so they move it while its still damp.

When i was a kid we use to paint a little on the blackboard, and when the teacher wrote over it with chalk...we all got a laugh
