Which explosive is also known as Nitroglycerin?

Lead Azide
TNT
DDNP
Nitroglycerin is not known by another name

The correct answer is: Nitroglycerin is not known by another name

Nitroglycerin is a specific chemical compound that is recognized by that name and not commonly known by another name. It is a highly explosive liquid used primarily in explosives like dynamite and as a vasodilator in medicine. In the context of the choices given, while TNT (trinitrotoluene) and other options represent different types of explosives or energetic materials, they do not serve as alternative names for Nitroglycerin. This distinction highlights that Nitroglycerin uniquely retains its identity and is not referred to in other terminologies, affirming that the answer is correct.
