Electrophilic addition reactions proceed in two steps. The first step involves the addition of an electrophile. The major intermediate formed in the first step is:

\(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{HC}=\mathrm{CH}_2+\mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow \text { ? }\)

1. 2° carbanion

2. 1° carbocation

3. 2° carbocation

4. 1° carbanion
