underset text2 - penteneCH3CH2CH = CH CH3 + underset text(from HBr)H+ → <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/daa1b34dea605b46a90b04bf2b553518-.png" /> During this reaction, roughly equal quantities of the two isomers actually being obtained.

Q. The addition of $H B r$ to $2$ -pentene gives

$2$ -bromopentane only

$3$ -bromopentane only

$2$ -bromopentane and $3$ -bromopentane

$1$ -bromopentane and $3$ -bromopentane

$2 - pentene C H_{3} C H_{2} C H = C H C H_{3} + (from HBr) H^{+} \to$

During this reaction, roughly equal quantities of the two isomers actually being obtained.
