Sulphur.<\/p>\n<p>Ethyl mercaptan is a chemical compound with the formula C2H5SH. It is a colourless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odour. It is used as a warning agent in natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to make leaks easily detectable.<\/p>\n<p>Ethyl mercaptan is a mercaptan, which is a compound that contains a mercaptan group, -SH. Mercaptans are typically foul-smelling, and are used as odorants in natural gas and LPG to make leaks easily detectable.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they are not elements that are found in ethyl mercaptan.
