The
addition of HX[?] to an alkene is an
organic reaction in
chemistry where
HX[?], or a
halogen sigma bonded[?] to a
hydrogen atom, adds to the
carbon-carbon double bond[?] of an
alkene following
Markovnikov's rule (Markovnikov's rule is observed).
The general chemical formula of the reaction is as follows:
- C=C + HX --> H-C-C-X
