Markovnikov's rule

Markovnikov's rule states that with the addition of HX, H2O, or ROH to an alkene, the higher priority substituent adds to the more highly substituted carbon of the carbon-carbon double bond, and the hydrogen adds to the carbon that has more hydrogens.

Zaitsev's rule

In elimination reactions, the major reaction product is the alkene with the more highly substituted double bond. This most-substituted alkene is also the most stable.
