Which of the products will be major product in the reaction given below? Explain.

CH₃CH = CH₂ + HI → CH₃CH₂CH₂ I + CH₃CHICH₃

                                         (A)                         (B)

<p><span data-teams="true">This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar</span></p><p><span data-teams="true">This addition reaction is carried out in accordance with Markovnikoff's rule, which states that in a double bond, the hydrogen from the hydrogen halide is added to the carbon atom with the most hydrogen atoms attached to it, while the halogen atom is attached to the carbon atom with the fewest hydrogens attached to it. The main product in the combination will be the molecule that follows this guideline. As a result, the molecule (B) will be the reaction's main product.</span></p>
