Chemistry - Hydrocarbon Question with Solution | TestHub

Explain Question : Asking about the alkene, in which Markownikoff's rule is irrelevant

Concept : Based on symmetrical alkenes

Solution : Markownikoff's rule is not applicable to symmetrical alkenes. Symmetrical alkenes have the same number of hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom involved in the double bond, meaning the rule's guiding principle - the preferential addition of the electrophile to the carbon with more hydrogens - is irrelevant

Rest alkenes are usymmetrical so Markownikoff's rule is applicable

Final Answer : Option (C)
