Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction is an addition reaction of HBr to an alkene. This type of reaction follows Markovnikov’s rule, which states that the proton (H+) adds to the carbon with the most hydrogens already attached. Therefore, the H+ will add to the second carbon of the alkene and the Br- will add to the first carbon of the alkene. The product formed is 2-bromobutane.
