Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the product of the reaction between ethene and bromine?
  • Step 1: Understand that ethene is a simple alkene with a double bond between two carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Recognize that bromine (Br2) is a diatomic molecule made of two bromine atoms.
  • Step 3: When ethene reacts with bromine, the double bond in ethene breaks.
  • Step 4: Each carbon atom from the ethene double bond will bond with one bromine atom.
  • Step 5: This reaction leads to the formation of a new compound called 1,2-dibromoethane.
  • Step 6: The process is called electrophilic addition because bromine acts as an electrophile that adds to the alkene.
