In the mechanism for the addition of water to an alkene, the hydronium ion (H3O*) is generated. Why does the alkene attack the hydrogen and not the oxygen where the + charge located? There may be more than one answer. H₂C 000 vs. H₂C 40-H A Because attacking the hydrogen and breaking its bond with oxygen will satisfy the + charge on the oxygen, whereas the direct attack on oxygen would not. Because it would violate oxygen's octet. Because it would give oxygen too many bonds. Because the hydrogen is more sterically accessible. Because the oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, making the hydrogen atoms more electrophilic.

Dilot Q Search 3 R 10. It was observed that if a new, pure bottle of hydrobromic acid (HBr) was used for a hydrobromination of an alkene, the Markovnikov product was formed, due to carbocation stability. Add the curved arrows of this addition reaction learned in the alkene addition unit (chapter 8) to this reaction. Categorize the carbocation formed by substitution (methyl, primary, etc.). Br H-Br 6 HBr HBr ROOR of 6 It was observed that an old, impure bottle of hydrobromic acid (HBr) was used for a hydrobromination of an alkene, the anti-Markovnikov product was formed. This means that the mechanism of the reaction has changed to radical due to the introduction of a radical initiator and the outcome of the reaction is dictated instead by radical stability. The most common impurity in old bottles of HBr is peroxides (with the chemical formula ROOR). Draw the fishhook arrows for each of the radical mechanistic steps, categorize the radical mechanistic pattern of each step, categorize the…
