Ethylene is a colorless gas with a sweet odor and taste, primarily used as a key building block in the petrochemical industry. It is the simplest alkene and plays a critical role in the production of various chemicals and materials, including plastics, antifreeze, and solvents. Ethylene is produced through the steam cracking of hydrocarbons and is essential in the manufacture of polyethylene, one of the most widely used plastics.
Applications

Polyethylene Production: Used as a primary feedstock in the production of polyethylene, which is widely utilized in packaging, containers, and plastic products.
Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for the synthesis of numerous chemicals, including ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, and vinyl chloride.
Agriculture: Employed in the agricultural sector as a plant hormone to regulate the ripening process of fruits.
