The fulminate ion is a pseudohalic ion because its charge and reactivity are similar to those of the halogens. The name is derived from the Latin fulminātus, meaning to explode like lightning, and reflects that fulminate salts are friction-sensitive explosives due to the instability of the ion.

Fulminating gold – a number of gold based explosives which "fulminate", or detonate easily. – gold hydrazide, formed by adding ammonia to the auric hydroxide. When dry, can explode on concussion. – an unstable gold carbonate formed by precipitation by potash from gold dissolved in aqua regia. Galena – lead(II) sulfide. Lead ore.
Fulminate is the anion [C − ≡N + −O −] or any of its salts. For historical reasons, the fulminate functional group is understood to be −O−N + ≡C − as in isofulminic acid; [2] whereas the group −C≡N + O − is called nitrile oxide.

Fulminant (/ ˈ f ʊ l m ɪ n ən t /) is a medical descriptor for any event or process that occurs suddenly and escalates quickly, and is intense and severe to the point of lethality, i.e., it has an explosive character. [1]
Mercury(II) fulminate, or Hg(CNO) 2, is a primary explosive. It is highly sensitive to friction, heat and shock and is mainly used as a trigger for other explosives in percussion caps and detonators. Mercury(II) cyanate, though its chemical formula is identical, has a different atomic arrangement, making the cyanate and fulminate anionic isomers.
