a
(a) $C{H_2} = C{H_2} + H\mathop O\limits^ -  \mathop {Cl}\limits^ +   \to $ $\mathop {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {\mathop C\limits^2 {H_2} - \mathop C\limits^1 {H_2}} \\ 
  {\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\ 
  {\,OH\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Cl\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} 
\end{array}}\limits_{1 - Chloro - 2 - hydroxyethane} $
