What is the product formed when propene reacts with HBr?
Correct answer: D. Option D
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
When propene (CH3-CH=CH2) reacts with hydrogen bromide (HBr), it undergoes an addition reaction to form 2-bromopropane. The hydrogen bromide (HBr) adds to the double bond of propene, resulting in the addition of a bromine atom to one of the carbon atoms and a hydrogen atom to the other carbon atom. The reaction can be represented as follows:CH3 −CH=CH2 +HBr→CH3 −CH(Br)−CH3 Hence, option D is correct.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
