Which risk increases when ethylene gas is exposed to oxidizing agents?

💡 Explanation

Ethylene oxidation can lead to explosive polymerization because the free-radical chain mechanism readily propagates when double bonds break, therefore rapid uncontrolled chain growth initiates, rather than controlled oxidation, at specific sites preserving the double bond.
