By the action of a solution of hydrogen chloride in nitromethane, 3-methybut-1 - ene gives a mixture of 2-chloro-3- methylbutane and 2-chloro-2-methylbutane in the ratio (40:60). Under the same conditions, 3,3-dimethybut-1 - ene leads to a mixture of 2-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane and 2-chloro-3, 3-dimethybultane in the ratio (83:17). Explain these results.
