Problem:

The mechanism for the addition of HCl to propylene is described below.

enter image description here

Complete the mechanism in step 1 with one curved arrow showing the electron movement that occurs when the double bond is broken, as well as the mechanism in step 2 with the intermediate carbocation and one curved arrow showing how $Cl^-$ is added.

Solution:

No solution was given to this problem.

What I am thinking:

Excuse how messily I've drawn everything. I just drew this fast on a notepad I specifically have to just aid me in trying to find the right solution before I write and draw everything more nicely on another notepad.

enter image description here

Questions:

Did I draw the curved arrows where they are supposed to be? Did I write the right carbocation? Am I thinking right?
