Identify the type of reaction:

- A Electrophilic addition
- B Nucleophilic addition
- C Free radical addition
- D Free radical substitution
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Electrophilic addition
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction shown is the addition of hydrogen bromide (HBr) to propene (\(CH_3-CH=CH_2\)). The reaction proceeds via the electrophilic addition mechanism. In the first step, the electrophile \(H^{+}\) from HBr attacks the double bond to form the more stable secondary…
