Chapter 6 is the alkene reactions dealing with the different reagents. From number 1 on the Sapling homework problem, you were suppose to do a mechanism of H - Br reacting with this alkene.
In
the first step of the alkene reaction of H - Br, one of the bonds from the
double bonded carbon attack the hydrogen atom.
In
the second step, the hydrogen was added to the carbon with the most hydrogens
following Markovnikov's rule. The most stable carbocation is formed, then the
bromine ion which acts as a nucleophile, attacks the carbocation, which is the
electrophile.
In the third step, you get your final product!
