![**Question:**
What is the major product of the following reaction?
**Reaction:**
\[ \text{molecule} + \text{HBr} \]
**Options:**
1. 
- Circle (Radio Button)
- Structure: CH3-CH(Br)-CH2-H
2. 
- Circle (Radio Button)
- Structure: CH3-CH(Br)-CH3
3. 
- Circle (Radio Button)
- Structure: CH2(Br)-CH2-CH3
4. 
- Circle (Radio Button)
- Structure: CH3-CH(Br)-CH3
**Explanation:**
This is a typical electrophilic addition reaction where hydrogen bromide (HBr) adds across the double bond. When HBr adds to an alkene, Markovnikov's rule applies, which states that the hydrogen (H) will add to the carbon with the greatest number of hydrogen atoms already present, and the bromine (Br) will add to the carbon with fewer hydrogen atoms.
In this case, to identify the correct major product, apply Markovnikov's rule to the given reaction and choose the appropriate structure from the options provided.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa4b8199f-1785-4bf8-892f-b1973e07d452%2F61c68e03-4997-4f7b-9ca8-a43d3c4c9677%2Fss6mt7_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
