Answer:
True
Explanation:
Markovnikov rule states that the negative part of the addendum is added to the carbon atom having the least number of hydrogen atoms.
This means that during acid-catalyzed addition of water to an alkene, the -OH is added to the more substituted carbon atom while the -H is added to the least substituted carbon atom in obedience to Markovnikov regiochemistry.
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Acid-catalyzed addition of water to an alkene yields an alcohol with Markovnikov regiochemistry. The electrophilic H+ adds to the sp2 carbon with the most hydrogens to yield the most stable carbocation intermediate, which then adds water to give the product alcohol.
