Question 21 In the standard electrophilic addition of a hydrohalide (H-X) to an alkene, what can be said about the stereochemistry of the product? O The stereochemistry will be anti, since the sigma bond will rotate once the pi bond is broken OThe stereochemistry will be syn, since the nucleophile will be generated on the same side of the alkene as the electrophile. O The stereochemistry will be random, since the carbocation generated is planar and attack can come from either side. O None of these, because it is not possible to generate a chiral center with stereochemistry through an electrophilic addition reaction
