Sensitive compounds are chemical substances that can easily undergo changes in their structure or properties when exposed to certain conditions, such as heat, light, or moisture. These compounds may decompose, react, or lose their effectiveness under these influences, making them challenging to handle and store. Examples of sensitive compounds include explosives, pharmaceuticals, and certain organic chemicals. Due to their instability, they often require special storage conditions, such as refrigeration or protection from light, to maintain their integrity and ensure safety during use.
