Mechanism I
1) Proton (H+) adds to alkene to form C+
2) Nucleophile adds to C+
stereoselectivity: syn + anti products
regioselectivity: Markovnikov (more stable C+)

Mechanism I stereoselectivity
syn + anti products
Mechanism I regioselectivity
Markovnik (more stable C+)
Mechanism II
1) Electrophile (E+) adds to form 3-membered cyclic intermediate
2) Nucleophile attacks the cyclic intermediate to open it and form the final product
stereoselectivity: anti
regioselectivity: X- adds to side that best stabilizes to partial (+)

Mechanism II stereoselectivity
anti products
Mechanism II stereoselectivity
X- adds to side that best stabilizes partial (+)
Mechanism III
two groups that are connected to each other add simultaneously to alkene
stereoselectivity: syn
regioselectivity: matching partial (+) or (-) or based on size

Mechanism III stereoselectivity
syn products
Mechanism III regioselectivity
matching partial (+) or (-) or based on size
