Concept introduction:
The curved arrow notation keeps track of electrons in an elementary step. Curved arrows are drawn from the electron rich to electron poor sites. An electrophilic addition step occurs when a species containing a non-polar pi bond (as part of a double or triple bond) approaches a strongly electron-deficient species (an electrophile). A new bond is formed between atoms of the pi bond and the electrophile. The product of each of the electrophilic addition is a carbocation, which is highly unstable and will react further because it has a positive charge and lacks an octet.

Be sure to show all reagents and intermediates for full credit. You do not need to draw mechanism arrows, but you do need to include charges where appropriate. If you do not put your group name, you will get half credit at most. ?
