Detailed Solution

detailed_solution_thumbnail
  • The addition of HBr to alkenes takes places via ionic intermediates in Markovnikov addition sequence. 
  • The alkene also produces ions (cation and anion), the more is the stability of carbocation more will be its reactivity towardsHBr
  • More the number of methyl groups attached to alkene carbon more will be its stability. 
  • The stability order of carbocation is 2-Methyl-2-butene>2-Butene>Propene> Ethene and so the same order follows towards reactivity with HBr
