Options:

A) $ CH_2=CH_2 $

B) $ CH_3-CH=CH_2 $

C) $ {{(CH_3)}_2}C=C{{(CH_3)}_2} $

D) $ CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ CH_3\underset{CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{-C=}}}}\underset{CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C-CH_3}}}} $

$ \underset{(2)Zn/H_2O}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{(1)O_3}}} $

$ \underset{Acetone}{\mathop{CH_3-\underset{\underset{CH_3}{\mathop{|}}}{\mathop{CO}}+\underset{\underset{CH_3}{\mathop{|}}}{\mathop{OC}}-CH_3}} $
