	[No title]
		This is true because the type of bonding involved in NM (non-metal)-NM bonding is covalent and all 4 of the atoms present in TNT are non-metals.
		Trinitrotoluene is constructed of nitro groups and produces in large amounts, nitrogen and other gases.
		As trinitrotoluene is an explosive, TNT's reaction tendencies tend to be an explosion.

	Method and composition for melt cast explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics - Patent 5431756
		Trinitrotoluene is the most widely used explosive and pyrotechnic in the military and the industrial market.
		Trinitrotoluene is melted by heating in a steam jacketed stirred kettle to 87.degree.-95.degree.
		To avoid the hazard of trinitrotoluene, nitroethane which has essentially the same weight percent NO.sub.2, was substituted for trinitrotoluene in the evaluations according to the invention.

		TNT (Trinitrotoluene) Video No. 1 - As a crystalline preparation of the explosive TNT is slowly heated, the crystallites melt and form a liquid phase.
		Trinitrotoluene (more commonly known as the explosive TNT) is a nitrated toluene derivative that exists as a pale yellow, crystalline solid at room temperature and melts at 82º C (178º F).
		The chemical is prepared by carefully nitrating toluene, and is often used as a high explosive.

	Megalomania's Method of Making Trinitrotoluene
		TNT was first synthesized in 1863 by a scientist named Wilbrand who treated toluene with sulfuric and nitric acid at near boiling temperatures.
		Although there are several isomers of trinitrotoluene, only the 2,4,6- isomer is of importance.
		After the last washing, the trinitrotoluene is granulated by allowing it to cool slowly under hot water while the stirring is continued.

		The explosives were picric acid, trinitrotoluene, (2,4-dinitrotoluene), hexahydro- 1,3,5-trinitro- 1,3,5-trazine, nitroguanidine, and pentyl.
		For the major explosive, trinitrotoluene, the water-phase FC/LC50s were between 5 and 20mg 1< and the toxicity was not significantly affected by storage of test solutions for 30 days, indicating hydrolytic stability.
		The toxicity was not affected by addition of sediment, indicating that trinitrotoluene was not bound appreciably to sediment, but toxicity decreased after storage for 30 days in the presence of sediment, indicating biological degradation or slow adsorption of the chemical.
