Markovnikov's Rule predicts the regiochemistry of addition reactions to alkenes, stating that the hydrogen (H) adds to the less substituted alkene carbon while the X (usually a halide or other electronegative atom) adds to the more substituted alkene carbon. The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog Rules are used to assign priorities to atoms or groups attached to a chiral center in order to determine stereochemistry.
