Question

1) Please explain what it means for a reaction to create a Markovnikov product. Why does the reagent favor being added in this order and not Anti-Markovnikov See the reaction below. 2) Why do molecules perform carbocation rearrangements? How will you determine when to perform a carbocation rearrangement? see reaction below. The X-
