Pls explain Markovnikov Rule

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-04-22] [Hit: ]
while the electron-deficient component adds to the carbon atom with more hydrogen atoms bonded to it. Thus, hydrogen chloride (HCl) adds to propylene (CH3CH=CH2) to produce 2-chloropropane (CH3CHClCH3) rather than the isomeric 1-chloropropane (CH3CH2CH2Cl). The rule is useful in predicting the molecular structures of products of addition reactions.-Markovnikov Rule predicts the regiochemistry of HX addition to unsymmetrically substituted alkenes........
what is Markovnikov Rule and why is it important?
thank you!

In addition reactions to unsymmetrical alkenes, 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. Thus, hydrogen chloride (HCl) adds to propylene (CH3CH=CH2) to produce 2-chloropropane (CH3CHClCH3) rather than the isomeric 1-chloropropane (CH3CH2CH2Cl). The rule is useful in predicting the molecular structures of products of addition reactions.

Markovnikov Rule predicts the regiochemistry of HX addition to unsymmetrically substituted alkenes..
the halide component of HX bonds preferentially at the more highly substituted carbon whereas the hydrogen prefers the carbon which already contains more hydrogens..

why it is important ?? got no answer :)
