Addition of HBr to propene C CH 3 H HH H Br  +  C CH 3 H HH H + Br - C CH 3 H HH HBr Markovnikov’s rule: The less electronegative atom (H) adds to the carbon atom of the double bond with most H atoms attached. This gives rise to a more stable carbocation intermediate (order of stability 1°<2°<3°)
