Correct answer: B. Markownikov's rule
- A. Hund's rule
- B. Markownikov's rule
- C. Pauli's exclusion principle
- D. Aufbau principle
Explanation
The addition of hydrogen halide over an unsymmetrical alkene is governed by Markownikov's Rule. The rule states that; in the addition of an unsymmetrical reagent to an unsymmetrical alkene, the negative part of the adding reagent goes to that carbon, constituting the double bond, which has least number of hydrogen atoms.
