Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the reaction type

The reaction is an addition reaction of a hydrogen halide (HI) to an alkene. This is a hydrohalogenation reaction.

Step 2: Determine the regioselectivity

Markovnikov's rule states that the hydrogen atom will add to the carbon with the greater number of hydrogen atoms already attached. In this case, both carbons of the double bond have one hydrogen atom attached. Thus, the reaction will result in two products.

Step 3: Draw the products

The two products formed are 1-iodo-1-methylcyclopentane and 1-iodo-2-methylcyclopentane.

Final Answer:

\( \boxed{\\text{1-iodo-1-methylcyclopentane and 1-iodo-2-methylcyclopentane}} \)
