And the reaction follows the general scheme...
#R-CH-CH_2 + HX rarr underbrace(Rstackrel(+)CHCH_3)_"secondary carbocation" + X^-# #Rstackrel(+)CHCH_3 + X^(-)rarrRCH(X)CH_3 # This reaction follows so-called
#"Markownikow selectivity"# ,,the more substituted alkyl halide is favoured. Anyway, you are going to have to read your text...
