To solve the problem of determining the structure and IUPAC name of the alkene 'X' that undergoes ozonolysis to yield two isomers with the formula C₃H₆O, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Ozonolysis Ozonolysis is a reaction where alkenes react with ozone (O₃) to form ozonides, which can then be hydrolyzed to produce carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones). ### Step 2: Identifying the Isomers The problem states that ozonolysis followed by hydrolysis yields two isomers with the formula C₃H₆O. The possible isomers of this formula are: 1. Propan-2-one (acetone) ...

The alkenes have pi -bonds which make them highly reactive. These undergo electrophilic addition reactions, Addition of HX to unsymmetrical alkenes gives two products and follow Markovnikov rule and anti- Markovnikov rule. The addition occure through the formation of carbocation in Markovnikov rule and free radicals in anti-Markovnikov zule. The ozonolysis reaction of alkenes helps to locate the position of double bond.
