'''Trinitrotoluene''' (more commonly known as TNT) is an explosive [[chemical compound]] used for demolitions. TNT is also used as a benchmark for measuring the explosive force of other explosives and [[bomb]]s. Many [[nuclear weapon]]s and other heavy explosives have blasts that are measured in "megatons of TNT," which is usually shortened to simply "megatons". | '''Trinitrotoluene''' (more commonly known as TNT) is an explosive [[chemical compound]] used for demolitions.
