### Explanation of Chemical Reaction This image illustrates a chemical reaction involving a structural transformation of a compound. #### Reactant: - On the left side is the compound Hydroxyquinone, also known as 1,4-benzoquinone or para-benzoquinone. It has a six-membered aromatic ring with two hydroxyl groups (OH) positioned at the 1,4-positions (para position) and a carbonyl group (C=O) at the top of the benzene ring. #### Product: - On the right side is Hydroquinone, also known as benzene-1,4-diol. It maintains the same six-membered aromatic ring structure, but the carbonyl group has been reduced to a hydroxyl group (OH), resulting in a total of three hydroxyl groups in the structure, one each at the 1, 4, and new position previously occupied by the carbonyl. #### Reaction Arrow: - The arrow between the two structures indicates a chemical reaction or transformation from Hydroxyquinone to Hydroquinone. Specifically, this transformation involves the reduction of the carbonyl group to a hydroxyl group. This type of reaction is significant in the study of organic chemistry and demonstrates the conversion processes between quinones and their reduced forms.
