The instability of NI<sub>3</sub> and NI<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub> can be attributed to the great stability of N<sub>2</sub>. Nitrogen triiodide has no practical commercial value due to its extreme shock sensitivity, making it impossible to store, transport, and utilize for controlled explosions. Whereas pure ] is also highly shock-sensitive (although not nearly as much so as nitrogen triiodide, which can be set off with the touch of a feather) and powerful, it was only due to ] that its shock sensitivity was reduced and it became safer to handle and transport as ]. |

The instability of NI<sub>3</sub> and NI<sub>3</sub> · NH<sub>3</sub> can be attributed to the large ] caused by the three large iodine atoms being held in proximity to each other around the relatively tiny nitrogen atom. This results in a very low ] for its decomposition, a reaction made even more favorable due to the great stability of N<sub>2</sub>. Nitrogen triiodide has no practical commercial value due to its extreme shock sensitivity, making it impossible to store, transport, and utilize for controlled explosions. Whereas pure ] is powerful and also greatly shock-sensitive (although not nearly as much so as nitrogen triiodide, which can be set off with the touch of a feather), it was only due to ] that nitroglycerin's shock sensitivity was reduced and it became safer to handle and transport in the form of ]. |

Consistent with this equation, these explosions leave orange-to-purple stains of iodine, which can be removed with ] solution. An alternate method of stain removal is to simply allow the iodine time to sublime. |
