Alkenes: addition of HBr, BH3, X2 (11)

Organic chemistry: Alkene addition reactions. Addition of H2 (hydrogenation). Addition of HBr, with or without peroxides. Addition of BH3 to get alcohols (hydroboration-oxidation). Addition of X2.

Dude I officially love you. Thank You. I get it now :)

@skdfjgskgjhflsk It is possible for the Br to have a positive charge because of the lone pair, that he failed to draw on the Br....if count the electrons 1 from each cyclic bond and include the lone pair....you get Br with 4 electrins. If you look at your periodic table, you will see that Br wants 5 but only has 4 therefore its formal charge is positive...which is why he drew the X with the positive charge....make sense... I hope I didnt confuse you more.
