Students should:
$understand the mechanism of the electrophilic addition reactions between alkenes and: i halogens ii hydrogen halides, including addition to unsymmetrical alkenes iii other given binary compounds Use of the curly arrow notation is expected - curly arrows should start from either a bond or from a lone pair of electrons . Knowledge of the relative stability of primary, secondary and tertiary carbocation intermediates is expected .$
