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.
