1,4-hexadiene
2,4-hexadiene

Solution :Writing the structures of the three PRODUCTS of OZONOLYSIS side by side, we have
`underset"Ethanal"(CH_3CH=O)+ underset"Ethanedial"(O=CH-CH=O)+underset"Ethanal"(O=CHCH_3)`
Remove the oxygen atoms, and combine the three fragments TOGETHER , the STRUCTURE of the HYDROCARBON is
