it is simply ethene
during ozonolysis we just break the molecule in between the double bond and seperate the 2 parts
after that we add oxygen to the end of double bond and get the product
reverse process coud be simply carried out.
hope it helped
thanx

According to question answer is CH2=CH2 or ethene .But if we require only HCHO then ethene is the answer .Break double bond between carbon and add oxygen on each carbon.Then we get HCHO.
