#24: Contact Detonation

Using my previously isolated iodine, along with some diluted ammonia (NH3), I synthesized a tiny bit of nitrogen triiodide (NI3). Due to the major size difference between the nitrogen atom and iodine atoms in the compound, nitrogen triiodide is extremely unstable. As a result, a tap with a stick will cause it to detonate. 

To see the demonstration performed on a much larger scale...
