Term
Although the electrons in the __________ bond framework are tightly held, the __________ bond is delocalized above and below the __________ bond.
The __________-bonding electrons are spread farther from the __________ nuclei, and they are loosely held.
A strong __________ has an affinity for these loosely held electrons.
It can pull them away to form a new bond, leaving one of the carbon atoms with only __________ bonds and a __________ charge: a __________.
In effect, the carbon-carbon double bond can react as a __________, donating a pair of electrons to the electrophile. |

*Mechanism 8-1: Electrophilic Addition to Alkenes*
First, a strong __________ attracts the loosely held electrons from the __________ bond of an alkene.
The electrophile forms a __________ bond to one of the carbons of the double bond, while the other carbon becomes a __________.
The carbocation (a strong __________) reacts with a nucleophile (often a weak __________) to form another sigma bond.
Step 1: Attack of the __________ bond on the __________ forms a carbocation.
Step 2: Attack by a nucleophile gives the __________ product. |
