The additions of HCl to an alkene proceeds in two steps. The first step is the attack of `H^(+)` ion to portion which can be shown as

A

B

C

D

All of these are possible

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
It is the correct representation since double bond has

high electron density, it provides electron pair for attack on `H^(+)`. A carbocation results.
