4.27: Describe the Reactions of Alkenes with Bromine to Produce Dibromoalkanes



ALKENES: Homologous series of hydrocarbon compounds containing double Carbon bonds - has the general formula CnH2n

s
REACTION BETWEEN ALKENES AND BROMINE:
s
Reaction between Bromine and Alkenes is an example of an Addition Reaction - reaction in which one molecule combines with another to form a single larger molecule
s
sExample: Addition Reaction of Ethene and Bromine



This is an Addition Reaction as the Diatomic Bromine atom has been added across the double bond of Ethene
s

 Ethene   +   Bromine   →   Dibromoethane
 
    C2H4               Br2                      C2H4Br2
