1) What is the most sensitive explosive commonly known? Is nitrogen triiodide the correct guess?
2) How are comparative sensitivities of sensitive explosives measured, e. g. how do you ascertain that nitrogen iodide is more sensitive than fulminating gold?
3) How sensitive, comparatively, are xenon oxides?
