The overall equation for the addition of HCl to alkenes is:

If the transition state for proton transfer from HCl to the alkene (arrow 5) resembles a carbocation and this step is rate-determining, what should be the effect of alkene structure on the rate of the overall reaction?

Fastest rate		Slowest rate
A.H2C=CH2	CH3CH=CHCH3	(CH3)2C=C(CH3)2
B.CH3CH=CHCH3	(CH3)2C=C(CH3)2	H2C=CH2
C.CH3CH=CHCH3	H2C=CH2	(CH3)2C=C(CH3)2
D.(CH3)2C=C(CH3)2	CH3CH=CHCH3	H2C=CH2
