Molozonide is unstable and changes into ozonide on_________________?
Correct answer: D. rearrangement
- A. reduction
- B. oxidation
- C. hydrolysis
- D. rearrangement
Explanation
Ozone first adds to an alkene to form an unstable molozonide, which rearranges by bond reorganisation into the more stable ozonide. The likely mistake is choosing oxidation because ozone is an oxidising agent, but the specific molozonide-to-ozonide step is described as rearrangement.

About Alkenes
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon double bond with sigma and pi components and restricted rotation. Their reactions include electrophilic addition of hydrogen, halogens, hydrogen halides and water, with Markovnikov orientation, oxidation, combustion and polymerisation, while their preparation commonly involves elimination from alkyl halides or alcohols.
