True
False
![Consider the mechanism for 1,2 and 1,4 addition reactions. If the cation intermediate is the same
in energy on the reaction coordinate diagram, how do different products form selectively?
Alkene stability dictates the reaction.
Reaction conditions control which product is formed.
The transition state: once the new bonds start to form, the cations are no longer in resonance
and the transition states become different in energy.
Activation energy distinguishes the products.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F57bd7b70-c2c0-4248-a810-88dcf4275884%2F56b4b697-4d58-4803-8117-67070cbcacb0%2Fjpqy7bf_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
