List the products of each alkene addition reaction. c.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the type of alkene addition reaction being considered (e.g., hydrogenation, halogenation, hydrohalogenation, hydration, etc.).

Determine the structure of the alkene involved in the reaction. This includes identifying the carbon-carbon double bond.

Apply the specific mechanism of the addition reaction to the alkene. For example, in a hydrohalogenation reaction, the hydrogen atom from the hydrogen halide will add to one of the carbons in the double bond, and the halide will add to the other carbon.

Consider Markovnikov's rule if applicable, which states that in the addition of HX to an alkene, the hydrogen atom will attach to the carbon with the greater number of hydrogen atoms, and the halide will attach to the carbon with fewer hydrogen atoms.

Write the structural formula of the product(s) formed from the addition reaction, ensuring that all atoms and bonds are correctly represented.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Alkene Structure

Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond (C=C). This unsaturation makes them more reactive than alkanes, allowing them to undergo various addition reactions. The geometry around the double bond is typically trigonal planar, which influences the orientation of the addition products.

Addition Reactions

Addition reactions involve the addition of atoms or groups to the carbon atoms of the double bond in alkenes, resulting in the formation of saturated products. Common types of addition reactions include hydrogenation, halogenation, and hydrohalogenation, each producing different products based on the reagents used and the conditions of the reaction.

Markovnikov's Rule

Markovnikov's Rule states that in the addition of HX (where X is a halogen) to an alkene, the hydrogen atom will attach to the carbon with the greater number of hydrogen atoms already attached. This rule helps predict the major product of the reaction, as it favors the formation of the more stable carbocation intermediate during the reaction process.
