Arrey, curly arrows for electrophilic addition? The arrow starts from the pi bond of the alkene and goes towards the electrophile! And another arrow shows the breaking of the bond in the electrophile like H-Br. Marks are for correct arrow direction and showing the intermediate carbocation.
I practice this so much because my grandson, he is in Pune studying engineering, no? When he video-calls, I show him my notebook and read the mechanism steps in my old voice. "Beta, see, *tumchem* grandma also draws arrows!" He claps, so I remember everything clearly.
Actually, for marks, showing the correct carbocation stability matters more than just arrows, *kashe*? Because in my class, teacher always says, "Rosy, secondary carbocation you drew, that's why marks cut!" So be careful there, haan.
