Question

Why does cutting of onions make us cry? ​

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathcal{BONJOUR \: !!}}$

The process goes as follows—

Lachrymatory-factor synthase is released into the air when we cut an onion.

The synthase enzyme converts the amino acids sulfoxides of the onion into sulfenic acid.

The unstable sulfenic acid rearranges itself into syn-ropanethial-S-oxide.

Syn-propanethial-S-oxide gets into the air and comes in contact with our eyes. The lachrymal glands become irritated and produces the tears!

Answer 2

HELLO MATE

when you cut an onion, it releases a gas called, ready for this, Propanethiol S-oxide. When mixed with certain enzymes in the onion, it creates a sulfur gas. These gases then get to your eyes and create a mild acid which irritates the eyes.
