Compound A can decolorise bromine solution.

It can be deduced that compound A is an alkene.


Ozonolysis of alkene >C=C< gives two carbonyl compounds: >C=O and O=C<.

Ozonolysis of alkene A gives acetone ((CH₃)₂C=O) and formaldehyde (O=CH₂).

It can be deduced that the structure of A is (CH₃)₂C=CH₂,
