What are the most common mistakes students make in Hydrocarbons?

H adds to the carbon with more hydrogens — unless peroxides are present, which reverse it (anti-Markovnikov).

Top mistakes to avoid in Hydrocarbons: • H adds to the carbon with more hydrogens — unless peroxides are present, which reverse it (anti-Markovnikov). • thinking unsaturated hydrocarbons are less reactive than alkanes. • reversing it, except in the peroxide (anti-Markovnikov) effect. • expecting benzene to undergo addition like an alkene.
