Answer» Statement 1 is true , statement 2 is true , statement 2 is a correct explanation for statement 1 Statement 1 is true , statement 2 is true , statement 2 is NOTA correct explanation for statement 1 Statement 1 is true , statement 2 is false Statement 1 is false , statement 2 is true Solution :This reaction is followed by anti-Markownikoff's rule `underset"1-Butene"(H-undersetundersetH\|oversetoversetH\|C-undersetundersetH\|oversetoversetH\|C-oversetoversetH\|C=undersetundersetH\|oversetoversetH\|C)-HBroverset"Peroxide"tounderset"1-Bromo BUTANE"(H-undersetundersetH\|oversetoversetH\|C-undersetundersetH\|oversetoversetH\|C-undersetundersetH\|oversetoversetH\|C-undersetunderset"Br"\|oversetoversetH\|C-H)` In this reaction anti-Markownikoff's addition is explained on the basis of the fact that in the presence of peroxide the addition TAKES place via a free radical mechanism rather than the ionic mechanism
