add bromine water. unsaturated compounds will decolourize bromine water
Bromine
Yes it does. This is a general test for unsaturation.
bromine water can be used to test whether the compund is saturated or unsaturated.
Lassaigne test is a method in qualitative analytical chemistry used to detect halogens, sulfur or nitrogen in organic compounds.
Some of the bromine is consumed by forming dibromides from the unsaturated compounds tested. The dibromides do not usually have color, as bromine molecules do.
unsaturation in a molecule
Basically there are many tests which is usually practiced to distinguish saturated Organic compounds from the unsaturated ones. But two of them are the most common: 1. Bromine water test. 2. Bayer's test. Basically Bromine water is red in color, so when an unsaturated compound (Alkene or Alkyne) is treated with it. The Bromine water get decolourized, on the other side the color is not changed when treated with saturated compound. In the Bayer's test KMnO4 solution is used, the unsaturated compound vanish its pink color while the saturated compounds do not.

Why is it difficult to test the presence of chloride in organic compounds than in inorganic ones like hydrochloric acid?
DNA
Positive Bromine tests are for unsaturated compounds that have double or triple bonds. Decane has a single bond, so the test will be negative.
