There are two possible structural isomers when HBr adds to the below alkene. Which is the most likely product and why? 0--09 H-Br: Product A or Product B Choose one: O Product A is the major product because the intermediate is resonance stabilized. O Product B is the major product because the intermediate is resonance stabilized. O There is no major product; both are formed equally.
