Answer 1

Explanation:

When a protic acid (HX) is added to an asymmetric alkene, the acidic hydrogen attaches itself to the carbon having a greater number of hydrogen substituents whereas the halide group attaches itself to the carbon atom which has a greater number of alkyl substituents.It can be observed from the reaction illustrated above that the majority of the product formed obeys Markovnikov’s rule, whereas the minority of the product does not.

Let us consider the addition reaction wherein an alkene reacts with water to give rise to an alcohol. This reaction proceeds via the formation of a carbocation. It is observed in this reaction that the hydroxyl group attaches itself to the carbon with more carbon-carbon bonds whereas the hydrogen atom attaches itself to the other carbon in the double bond which has more carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Answer 2

Explanation:

To simplify the rule, it can also be stated as – “Hydrogen is added to the carbon with the most hydrogens and the halide is added to the carbon with least hydrogens”. An example of a reaction that observes Markovnikov's rule is the addition of hydrobromic acid (HBr) to propene.
