Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Alkenes which give same alcohol product and which give different alcohol product are to be identified. The reason as to why the same alcohol product and different alcohol products are obtained is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

When the symmetrical alkenes are treated with oxymercuration-demercuration or hydroboration-oxidation then it will lead to same product. In case of unsymmetrical alkenes they give different products on treatment with oxymercuration-demercuration or hydroboration-oxidation.
