Step-by-step solution
During an electrophilic addition reactions double bonds donate lone pair electrons to an electrophile.
Markovnikov's Rule: The addition of a proton acid to the double bond of an alkene results in a product with the acid hydrogen bound to the carbon atom that already has the greater number of hydrogen attached.
In the given reaction electrophile adds to the double bond, a carbocation is formed. Then is added at the electron deficient carbocation.
