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. carbanion
2. carbocation
3. carbocation
4. carbanion
The addition of HCl to an alkene proceeds in two steps. The first step is the attack of H+ ion on the double bond portion. The same can be shown as-
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. | All of these are possible |
