In this section we will be looking at the mechanism/process of electrophillic addition reactions.
1. Electrophile attracted the C=C bond
2. Electrophile +charged and accepts pair of electrons from double bond of the C=C. The electrophile may be a positively charged ion or have a + charged area
3. + ion formed called carbocation
4. - charged ion forms a bond with carbocation
