Bromine is an electrophile (electron deficient species) it attacks the Carbon doubble bond and accepts a pair of electrons. this is known as electrophillic addition.
the equation is: C2H4 + Br2 - C2H4Br2
the product is 1,2 dibromoethane. this product is colourless.

Do bromine water and hexane go clear in light or dark?
Dark
What elements go with sodium to make bromine?
Bromine is an element, and no other kinds of atoms or elements are present with it, in a pure sample.
Why is ethene the smallest unsaturated hydrocarbon molecule?
Ethene may not be the smallest what about ethyne? Ethene, ethylene, is C2H4 Unsaturated hydrocarbon molecules contain double or triple bonds. The smallest will either be ethene C2H4 with one double bond, or ethyne , acetylene, HCCH with one triple bond. Ethyne wins, it has 2 less hydrogen atoms making it the LIGHTEST. Look at the structures in wikipedia and work out which is physically the smallest. I still go with ethyne. Wikipedia Ethene Wikipedia Ethyne
What test distinguishes between alkene and alcohol?
Baeyer's test for unsaturation using KMnO4 . if the sol'n retains the purple color of the reagent , then it is an alkane. if the color disappears with formation of brown precipitate ,it indicates presence of unsaturated HC
Does ethanol make bromine water go colorless?
No , it stays brown it just dissolves it it doesn't react

Why ethanol cannot react with bromine water?
The unsaturated compounds having double or triple bonds under go the addition reactions with Bromine water, ethanol does not have the double or triple bonds

What is the chemical formula potassium and bromine?
Groups go in columns (up and down) and periods go in rows (left to right). Potassium is on the same row as bromine, therefore they are in the same period.
