nountiːɛnˈtiːˌti ˌɛn ˈti
mass noun
  • A high explosive formed from toluene by substitution of three hydrogen atoms with nitro groups. It is relatively insensitive to shock and can be conveniently melted.

    Alternative name: trinitrotoluene; chemical formula: C₇H₅(NO₂)₃

    Example sentencesExamples

    • In all cases, chemical explosives such as 2,4, 6 - trinitrotoluene, black powder (potassium nitrate, sulfur, charcoal), liquid gasoline, or natural gas were involved.
