Addition of HI to double bond of propene yields isopropyl iodide and not $\mathrm{n}$ -propyl iodide as the major product, because addition proceeds through
a more stable carbonium ion
a more stable carbanion
a more stable free radical
homolysis
Solution
The addition of HI on the double bond of propene yields isopropyl iodide and not n-propyl iodide as the major product. This is because the addition proceeds through a more stable carbonium ion.
