13.7. Propanal and pentan-3-one are the ozonolysis products of an alkene. What is the structural formula of the alkene?

The ozonolysis of 4-Ethylhex-3-ene gives propanal and pentan-3-one.
The structural formula of the alkene (4-Ethylhex-3-ene) is as shown.

(i) Write the structures of propanal and pentan-3-ene with their oxygen atoms facing each other, we have,

 

(ii) Remove oxygen atoms and join the two fragments by a double bond, the structure of the alkene is
