← ScienceWhich mechanism limits sustained energy release in TNT?
A)Molecular bond dissociation
B)Radical chain termination✓
C)Detonation wave impedance
D)Confinement pressure propagation
💡 Explanation
Radical chain termination limits the reaction rate; because the methyl group abstracts hydrogen, the combustion chain breaks. Therefore, energy is released at a finite rate rather than instantaneously because of radical quenching in the explosive.
