What is Ethylene Oxide: Properties and Uses about?

Ethylene oxide is an organic compound with the formula C2H4O. It is a cyclic ether and colorless flammable gas with a faintly sweet odor. It is important in producing detergents, thickeners, solvents, plastics, and other organic chemicals. While it is useful industrially, ethylene oxide is also highly hazardous due to its flammability and cancer-causing properties. It is produced industrially by oxidizing ethylene using a silver catalyst.
