C3H5N3O9
Guide: C-Black, H-White, N-Blue, O-Red
Obviously, nitroglycerin has a very complex structure at a glance. However, if you look closely there are really only two parts in the structure. The black and white sub-structure is C3H5 grouped together. Then there are three separate N03 molecules attached to the C3H5 structure. One of the Oxygens from each NO3 molecule is attached to one of the three Carbons in the C3H5 sub-structure in the middle. This molecule is capable of hydrogen bonding because Hydrogen is present and so is Oxygen and Nitrogen.
