Answer 2

Explanation:

On adding HBr to Pent-2-ene (CH3-CH2-CH=CH-CH3); The major product formed is 2-Bromopentane whose carbocation has 5- Hyperconjugates and it is in accordance with MARKOWNIKOVA rule which states electrophilic addition to an unsymmetrical alkene always occurs through the formation of a more stable carbocation intermediate which I agree, but at the same time, I get confused when I apply the other statement of M.rule, which says the negative part of the addendum goes to the carbon with lesser H atoms. But here both carbons have one H each.. so please correct me!✨✨✨✨
