Question

Write the equations for the reaction of Ethylene with bromine

Answer 1

Ethylene $\left({\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_4\right)$ gives addition reaction with Hydrogen $\left(\mathrm{H}\right)$ and halogens because the double bond is highly reactive in nature.

Reaction

Ethylene reacts with Bromine $\left({\mathrm{Br}}_2\right)$ molecule to form the 1,2-Dibromoethane product.

The chemical reaction of Ethylene with Bromine is given below:

$$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{C}={\mathrm{CH}}_2+{\mathrm{Br}}_2\to {\mathrm{BrCH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{Br} \\ \left(\mathrm{Ethylene}\right)\left(\mathrm{Bromine}\right)(1,2-\mathrm{Dibromoethane}) \end{gathered}$$
