Markovnikov addition product

An unsymmetrical alkene in a Auckland synthesis workshop reacts with \(HBr\) under normal ionic conditions. State the product-rule conclusion. Use the labelled mechanism, pathway, data table, or method diagram before answering. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the HL chemistry evidence.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
