When EY is a hydrogen halideWhen EY is a hydrogen halideWhen EY is a hydrogen halideWhen EY is a hydrogen halide

When an unsymmetrically substituted alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide, the hydrogen adds to the carbon that has the greater number of hydrogen substituents, and the halogen adds to the carbon that has the fewer hydrogen substituents.
