Ozonolysis of a hydrocarbon A produced compounds B and C, both of which have the formula C3H5O. Compind B can be made by oxidation of a secondary alcohol, while compound C is easily oxdised to compound D, C3H6O2
Draw structures and give names for compounds A, B, C and D

I'm assuming you mean C3H6O for B and C, because C3H5O doesn't make sense (IDH doesnt have an integer value!)
A is 2-methyl-2-pentene
B is Propanone (Acetone)
C is Propanal
D is Propanoic Acid

I'll set you on your way.
The original compound was 2-methyl pent-2-ene.
The ozonolysis products are a ketone and an isomeric aldehyde, each containing 3 C atoms. Now you can do the rest!
