Ethylene Oxide is an Organic Compound with the formula C2H4O. It is a Cyclic Ether and the simplest Epoxide: a three-membered Ring consisting of one Oxygen Atom and two Carbon Atoms. Ethylene Oxide is a colorless and flammable Gas with a faintly sweet odor. Because it is a Strained Ring, Ethylene Oxide easily participates in a number of Addition Reactions that result in Ring-Opening. Ethylene Oxide is isomeric with Acetaldehyde and with Vinyl alcohol. Ethylene Oxide is industrially produced by Oxidation of Ethylene in the presence of Silver Catalyst.
