A Levels Chemistry (9701)•9701/12/M/J/22

Explanation
Alkene structure not provided for HBr addition analysis
Steps:
- Identify the alkene's double bond position and substituents to apply Markovnikov's rule.
- Determine the carbocation intermediate formed after H+ addition.
- Predict Br- attack site, considering rearrangements if applicable.
- With excess HBr, assess if second addition occurs (unlikely for simple alkene).
Why B is correct:
- Cannot confirm without alkene structure.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Positions mismatch unknown regiochemistry.
- C: Positions mismatch unknown regiochemistry.
- D: Positions mismatch unknown regiochemistry.
Not enough information.
Final answer: Not enough information.
