Question
The major product formed when propene reacts with HBr is:
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
According to Markovnikov's rule, the hydrogen adds to the carbon with more hydrogens. For propene (CH₃CH=CH₂), H adds to terminal carbon, Br adds to the internal carbon, giving 2-bromopropane (CH₃CHBrCH₃).
Hint
The hydrogen atom attaches to the less substituted carbon of the double bond.
