Expert Solution
Step 1
When unsymmetrical alkenes undergo addition reaction with hydrogen halide(HBr), the product formed will be in accordance with the Markonikov's rule.
According to Markonikov's rule, the negative part of the addendum goes to the carbon atom of alkene having less number of H-atoms or the negative part goes to most substituted carbon of the alkene.
Since, during the reaction a carbo cation intermediate is formed and a highly substituted carbo cation is more stable.
