2,4-Dimethylpent-2-ene undergoes an electrophilic addition reaction in the presence of HBr to form 2-bromo-2,4-dimethylpentane. Complete the mechanism of this addition and draw the intermediates formed as the reaction proceeds.

See figure 1

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the ionization reaction of HBr to produce the hydronium ion () and the bromide ion (). Then the double bond in the alkene can attack the hydronium ion to produce a carbocation. The most stable carbocation would be the tertiary one, therefore we have to put the positive charge in the tertiary carbon. Then, the bromide attacks the carbocation to produce the final halide.

I hope it helps!

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
