    Ammonium nitrate is a colorless, odorless crystalline solid with a molar mass of 80.0434 g/mol. It is used as a fertilizer to make soil fertile for growing food and also in explosives. Ammonium nitrate was first created in 1659 by German chemist Johann R. Glauber and its explosive properties were discovered during World War II. Its crystal structure is rhombohedral and it undergoes explosive decay when used as an explosive.
