Question

Consider the given reaction. The total number of oxygen atoms present per molecule of the product (P) is____.

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 1

Upon ozonolysis, the compound CH₃–CH=CH–CH₃ is cleaved at the double bond, resulting in two molecules of CH₃–C=O.

Each resulting molecule contains one oxygen atom.

Hence, the total number of oxygen atoms present per molecule of the product is: 1

So, the correct answer is: 1.
