Sensitivity edit

At present the article gives a confusing description of how likely this stuff is to explode.

This white polycrystalline solid was found to be stable under standard conditions but is extremely shock sensitive causing it to violently decompose when ground with a mortar.

I would consider something to be extremely shock sensitive if tapping it caused it to explode (i.e. a contact explosive). Being stable all the way up to grinding is fairly insensitive. Project Osprey (talk) 09:55, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
