AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to identify the structures of the compounds 'X' and 'Y' based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Compound X (C2H4O)**: - The molecular formula for compound X is C2H4O. - This formula suggests that X could be an aldehyde or a ketone. Given that X undergoes a haloform reaction, it must contain a methyl ketone group (–C(=O)CH3) or be an aldehyde that can be oxidized to a carboxylic acid. ...
