Oh. OK so here's the ruleHow do you know that what will form ..can you explain in detail? :/ I'm really bad at Organic Chemistry.
IF a C=C is broken by:
1. COLD KMNO4-------> two OH groups will BE ADDED (Electrophillic addition) and form a Diol
2. HOT CONCENTRATED KMNO4---------> 3 Conditions
A. If NO Carbon groups joined to C in C=C------> CO2 and H2O
B. If ONE Carbon group joined to C in C=C ---------> Aldehyde---------> Carboxyllic acid (Write only the Carboxyllic acid in exams)
C. If TWO Carbon groups joined to C in C=C-------------> ketone
Thats it!
hope that helps
