In case of addition of HX to an alkene, Markovnikov originally stated that
- the H atom adds to the carbon atom of the double bond that already has greater number of H atoms and halide ion adds to the carbon atom of the double bond that has fewer number of H atoms.
- the H atom adds to the carbon atom of the double bond that has fewer number of H atoms and halide ion adds to the carbon atom of the double bond that has greater number of H atom.
- both of these depending upon situation
- none of these
Answer
(A) the H atom adds to the carbon atom of the double bond that already has greater number of H atoms and halide ion adds to the carbon atom of the double bond that has fewer number of H atoms.
