Interpretation: Mechanism that accounts for product formation of below reaction with all resonance structures of carbocation 2 should be explained.

  Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry, Chapter 8, Problem 21CTQ

Concept introduction: The carbon-carbon double bond in alkene consists of a strong σ bond (formed by overlap of sp2 hybridized orbital on each carbon) and a weak π bond (formed by overlap of pure p orbital on each carbon). Due to unsaturation, alkene shows addition reaction where the double bond provides loosely held π electrons and is readily attacked by any electron deficient group like H+ ions released from acids. The loosely held π electrons are present, therefore, behave as base though weak one.
