Ethylene reacts with bromine to form:
Ethylene reacts with bromine to form:
- A. chloroethane
- B. ethylene dibromide
- C. cyclohexane
- D. 1-bromo propane
Step-by-step solution
Ethylene (C2H4) has a double bond that undergoes electrophilic addition with bromine (Br2). Each carbon atom gains a bromine atom, forming 1,2-dibromoethane, also known as ethylene dibromide.
