The Markovnikov rule is best applicable to the reaction between

A

`C_(2)H_(4) + HCl`

B

`C_(3) H_(6) + Br_(2)`

C

`C_(3)H_(6) + HBr`

D

`C_(3)H_(3) + Cl_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Markownikoff’s rule states that addition of halides to unsymmetrical alkenes takes place in such a manner that the negative part of the adduct attaches itself to that carbon atom which contains lesser number of hydrogen atoms
Here `C_(3)H_(6)(CH_3-CH=CH_2)` is an unsymmetrical alkene and the ragent is HBr. hence Markownikoff's rule is best applicable for this reaction.

What is Markovnikov's rule ?

Chargaff's rule is applicable to :

The alkenes have pi -bonds which make them highly reactive. These undergo electrophilic addition reactions, Addition of HX to unsymmetrical alkenes gives two products and follow Markovnikov rule and anti- Markovnikov rule. The addition occure through the formation of carbocation in Markovnikov rule and free radicals in anti-Markovnikov zule. The ozonolysis reaction of alkenes helps to locate the position of double bond. Name the products formed when 2-methylpropene is treated with ozone followed by Zn, H_(2)O .

Markovnikov's rule is empirical but may be explained theoretically on the basis that the addition occurs by a
