The hydroboration of an alkene occurs in which places the boron of the borane on the carbon of the double bond. The oxidizing agent then acts as a nucleophile, attacking the electrophilic and resulting in the placement of a hydroxyl group on the attached carbon. Thus, the major product of the hydroboration oxidation reaction follow Markovnikov's rule.

The hydroboration of an alkene occurs in TWO CONCERTED STEP which places the boron of the borane on the LESS SUBSTITUTED carbon of the double bond. The oxidizing agent then acts as a nucleophile, attacking the electrophilic BORON and resulting in the placement of a hydroxyl group on the attached carbon. Thus, the major product of the hydroboration oxidation reaction DOES NOT follow Markovnikov's rule.

Explanation:

Hydroboration is defined as the process which allows boron to attain the octet structure. This involves a two steps pathway which leads to the production of alcohol.

--> The first step: this involves the initiation of the addittion of borane to the alkene and this proceeds as a concerted reaction because bond breaking and bond formation occurs at the same time.

--> The second step: this involves the addition of boron which DOES NOT follow Markovnikov's rule( that is, Anti Markovnikov addition of Boron). This is so because the boron adds to the less substituted carbon of the alkene, which then places the hydrogen on the more substituted carbon.

Note: The Markovnikov rule in organic chemistry states that in alkene addition reactions, the electron-rich component of the reagent adds to the carbon atom with fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to it, while the electron-deficient component adds to the carbon atom with more hydrogen atoms bonded to it.

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
