Question

Which would most likely be an explosive compound: (a) methyl cyanate, CH3OCN; (b) methyl isocyanate, CH3NCO; or (c) methyl fulminate CH3ONC?

Answer 1

Methyl fulminate (CH3ONC) would most likely be an explosive compound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Methyl fulminate (CH3ONC) would most likely be an explosive compound. Methyl cyanate (CH3OCN) and methyl isocyanate (CH3NCO) are volatile and toxic, but they are not typically considered explosive.
