Expert Solution

Step 1

The electrophilic addition reaction of alkene proceeds in two steps. In the first step the proton attached to the double bond to form the more stable carbonation intermediate. This carbonation intermediate can be rearranged to even more stable carbonation. In the last step the chloride ion attached to the carbonation to form the final product.

Step 2

The reaction is given below:
