Addition of `X_(2)` on alkene is electrophilic additon reaction.Reaction proceed through the formation of 3- membered cyclic halonium ion. Nucleophile `X^(-)` attacks from backside of cyclic halonium ion hence total reaction is anti addition reaction.If this reaction proceed polar solvent then solvent itself acts as nucleophile.    Which of the following statements is incorrect?
