Addition
b
(b) e.g. $C{H_2} = C{H_2} + B{r_2} \to \begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {C{H_2} - C{H_2}} \\ 
  {\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\ 
  {Br\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Br\,\,\,\,\,} 
\end{array}$

Half of the double bond is broken. It means $\pi $ bond is broken while sigma bond is retained also two new $C - Br$ bonds are formed.
