Question

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

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.
