Which of the following rules governs the addition of unsymmetrical reagents to unsymmetrical alkenes?
- A. Huckel's rule
- B. Markovnikov's rule
- C. Saytzeff rule
- D. Pauli's exclusion principle
Answer: B. Markovnikov's rule
Markovnikov's rule states that the negative part of the reagent adds to the carbon atom with fewer hydrogen atoms.

Compare the reactivity of alkanes towards halogenation. Which is the correct order?
- A. F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2
- B. I2 > Br2 > Cl2 > F2
- C. Cl2 > F2 > Br2 > I2
- D. F2 > Br2 > Cl2 > I2
Answer: A. F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2
Reactivity decreases as we move down the halogen group due to decreasing electronegativity and increasing bond dissociation energy.

Identify the major product of the reaction between propene and HBr in the presence of benzoyl peroxide.
- A. 2-bromopropane
- B. 1-bromopropane
- C. 3-bromopropene
- D. Propyl bromide
Answer: B. 1-bromopropane
In the presence of peroxide, HBr adds to alkenes via a free radical mechanism following anti-Markovnikov addition.
