Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the product of the reaction of ethylene with chlorine?
  • Step 1: Understand that ethylene is a simple hydrocarbon with a double bond (C=C).
  • Step 2: Recognize that chlorine (Cl2) is a diatomic molecule made of two chlorine atoms.
  • Step 3: When ethylene reacts with chlorine, the double bond in ethylene breaks.
  • Step 4: Each chlorine atom attaches to one of the carbon atoms that were part of the double bond.
  • Step 5: This results in the formation of a new compound called 1,2-dichloroethane, where each carbon has one chlorine atom attached.
