Solution

Chlorine and bromine are added to the double bond of ethene to form saturated ethylene chloride and ethylene bromide respectively.

$C H_{2} = C H_{2} + C l_{2} \to C H_{2} (C l) - C H_{2} (C l)$
$1, 2 -$ dichloro ethane

$C H_{2} = C H_{2} + B r_{2} \to C H_{2} (B r) - C H_{2} (B r)$
$1, 2 -$ dibromo ethane
