(N/A) The stability of alkenes is primarily determined by the number of alkyl groups attached to the double-bonded carbons (hyperconjugation) and steric hindrance. The general order of stability is: $R_2C=CR_2 > R_2C=CHR > RCH=CHR \text{ (trans)} > R_2C=CH_2 > RCH=CHR \text{ (cis)} > RCH=CH_2 > CH_2=CH_2$.

$17 \, mg$ of a hydrocarbon ($M$.$F$. $C_{10}H_{16}$) takes up $8.40 \, mL$ of $H_2$ gas measured at $0^{\circ}C$ and $760 \, mm$ of $Hg$. Ozonolysis of the same hydrocarbon yields acetone,formaldehyde,and a compound with the structure $CH_3-CO-CH_2-CH_2-CHO$. The number of double bonds present in the hydrocarbon is $...........$.

An alkene $X$ on ozonolysis gives a mixture of $Propan-2-one$ and $methanal$. What is $X$?
