Understanding Addition Reactions and Markovnikov's Rule

What is the main difference between addition and elimination reactions?

• Addition reactions are slower than elimination reactions.

• Addition reactions remove atoms from a molecule.

• Addition reactions add atoms to a molecule.

• Addition reactions only occur with metals.

When hydrochloric acid reacts with propene, which product is formed in greater quantity?

• Four-chloropropane

• One-chloropropane

• Three-chloropropane

• Two-chloropropane

What does Markovnikov's rule help predict in addition reactions?

• The temperature change

• The color change

• The major product

• The speed of the reaction

According to Markovnikov's rule, where does the hydrogen atom prefer to go in an addition reaction?

• To the carbon with fewer hydrogens

• To the carbon with the most bonds

• To the carbon with more hydrogens

• To the carbon with no hydrogens

Who was Markovnikov's rival, mentioned in the context of addition reactions?

• Avogadro

• Dalton

• Zaitsev

• Lavoisier
