Answer:

An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. ... In metals, one or more electrons from each atom are loosely bound to the atom, and can move freely about within the metal.

Identify which of the following two reactions you would expect to occur more rapidly: (1) addition of HBr to 2-methyl-2-pentene

arlik [135]

Answer:

(1) addition of HBr to 2-methyl-2-pentene

Explanation:

In this case, we will have the formation of a carbocation for each molecule. For molecule 1 we will have a tertiary carbocation and for molecule 2 we will have a secondary carbocation.

Therefore the most stable carbocation is the one produced by the 2-methyl-2-pentene. So, this molecule would react faster than 4-methyl-1-pentene. (See figure)
