Question

How do I desribe the entire mechanism?

You should avoid personification. For example, consider the reaction step shown below: Br H cH :Br Н A poor description would be "cyclohexene wants a proton so takes it from HBr and generates a carbocation intermediate". This description implies that cyclohexene has desires, doesn't specify the reactive center of cyclohexene (the pi-electrons), and doesn't use the IUPAC name for HBr. A good description for this step is "the pi-electrons of cyclohexene abstract a proton from hydrobromic acid. This step is an acid-base reaction, generating a secondary carbocation intermediate and the bromide ion."

I do not get how to write out the proper deacroption.
