Answer:
Alkynes have a triple bond \[(C\equiv
C)\] in their molecules. Reaction with ozone results in the formation of an
ozonide. Now, treatment with zinc dust and water does not cleave the triple
bond completely. Therefore, a mixture of two carbonyl compounds is not formed.
In other words, alkynes do not undergo complete cleavage in the same way as
alkenes.
