Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which functional group is formed in the addition reaction of an alkene with HBr?
  • Step 1: Understand that an alkene is a type of hydrocarbon that contains a carbon-carbon double bond.
  • Step 2: Know that HBr is a molecule made of hydrogen (H) and bromine (Br).
  • Step 3: When HBr is added to an alkene, the double bond between the carbon atoms breaks.
  • Step 4: The hydrogen (H) from HBr attaches to one of the carbon atoms.
  • Step 5: The bromine (Br) from HBr attaches to the other carbon atom.
  • Step 6: This process creates a new compound called an alkyl halide, which contains a carbon-bromine bond.
