Solution

Ethene to 1, 2-dibromoethane is an example of an addition reaction.
$C H_{2} = C H_{2} + B r_{2} C C l_{4} \to B r - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - B r$
$1, 2 - d i b r o m o e t h a n e$

$C_{2} H_{4}$ is treated with $B r_{2}$ in carbon tetrachloride to produce an addition reaction product $B r C H_{2} - C H_{2} B r$ .
