Addition of HX to an alkene
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
