1. the double bond electrons will act as the nucleophile in the first step of the reaction. 2. the halide ion will act as the nucleophile in the second step of the reaction. 3. the relative stabilities of the potential product species plays a large role in determining the major and minor products for this reaction. 4. the intermediate with the secondary carbocation will be formed slower than the intermediate with the tertiary carbocation, giving the minor product 5. the H from the HCl will add to the carbon of the double bond with fewer hydrogen atoms to give the major product
