Abstract: Among oxidizers those containing the ammonium cation have the potential of self‐oxidization, making them of special hazard. Herein we examine ammonium nitrite and ammonium chlorate, two ionic compounds with well‐known hazard potential, and compare their explosive performance with related materials. A novel protocol for assessment of explosivity on the gram scale is employed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
