Addition Reaction of 1-Pentene with HBr

In organic chemistry, addition reactions are a fundamental class of reactions where two reactants combine to form a single product. For example, when alkenes react with hydrogen halides, such as hydrogen bromide (HBr), they form alkyl halides. In this context, consider an alkene, 1-pentene (C₅H₁₀), undergoing an addition reaction with hydrogen bromide.
