MCQ
Ethylene reacts with bromine to form
  • A
    $Br - C{H_2} - C{H_3}$
  • B
    $C{H_3} - CB{r_3}$
  • $Br - C{H_2} - C{H_2}Br$
  • D
    $CHB{r_3}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$Br - C{H_2} - C{H_2}Br$
c
Alkenes react in the cold with pure liquid bromine, or with a solution of bromine in an organic solvent like tetrachloromethane. The double bond breaks, and a bromine atom becomes attached to each carbon.... In the case of the reaction with ethene, $1,2$-dibromoethane is formed.
