nitroglycerin
Explosive chest drops
Nitroglycerin is a highly explosive liquid compound, famously unstable—liable to detonate from shock, heat, or friction.
It's the active component in dynamite, where it's stabilized by absorbent material.
In medicine, nitroglycerin dilates blood vessels and treats angina and heart conditions: He keeps nitroglycerin tablets for chest pain.
Also spelled nitroglycerine.
