1. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with a double bond.
2. The reactions in which a halogen adds to the carbon atom of alkenes by breaking the carbon-carbon double bond are known as halogenation of alkenes.
3. The typical halogenation reactions of alkenes is shown here:

Hence, alkenes can undergo halogenation.
