3.8 I can describe the reaction between alkenes and bromine

1.       Write the word equation showing the reaction between ethene and bromine water
          ethene + bromine water ---------> bromoethane + hydrogenbromide
2.       Draw the displayed formula of the reaction above

3.       Explain the observations: liquid turns from brown/orange to coloress
4.       Why does this reaction not need a catalyst? because the carbon - carbon double bondsmake the alkenes very reactive
5.       What type of reaction is this called?Addition reaction.

6.       Explain why this reaction is useful
Because it is shows when a  non-saturated bond is present.
