because no free radicals are involved in the reaction process
only carbo cations and Cl- are evolved which are ionic !!!

Why is the reaction of ethene with bromine called an addition reaction?
Br2 + C2H4 → C2H4Br2 ORBr2 + CH2=CH2 → BrCH2CH2BrThe name of the reaction is pretty intuitive. Ethene's double bond is broken which leaves room for bromine to be added to form dibromoethane.
Ethene reacts with water to form ethanol This type of raction is called?
Such reactions are known as HYDRATION and are performed in presence of sulphuric acid.
C2H4 plus H2O equals?
This reaction is an example of a 'hydration' or 'addition' reaction of alkenes: (ethene + water) C2H4 + H2O --> C2H5OH (ethanol) The reaction is catalysed by H+ ions (acid)
How do you make ethanol gas?
Ethanol can be produced by:Anaerobic fermentation of natural sugar (beets, cane, starch) done by yeastPetrochemically by acid catalized reaction of ethene with water
Product of alcoholic silver nitrate with ethyl bromide reaction?
ethyl nitrite
If ethene reacts with chlorine the only product is CH2 Cl-CH2Cl What type of reaction took place?
This is an addition reaction, as the double carbon-carbon bond in ethene breaks to accomodate the two chlorine atoms. Product is 1,2, dichloroethane
Which compounds take part in an addition reaction?
Ethene undergoes addition reaction

Name the addition product formed by ethene and water?
Ethene reacts with water in presence of sulphuric acid and forms Ethyl alcohol.
Is Polythene a hyrdocarbon?
Yes. It is an addition polymer of ethene so it is a hydrocarbon.
How can you distinguish between ethene and ethyne by means of a chemical reaction?
Ethyne is acidic in nature and is soluble in aqueous solution of NaOH while ethene does not.
How do you make ethanol gas?
Ethanol can be produced by:Anaerobic fermentation of natural sugar (beets, cane, starch) done by yeastPetrochemically by acid catalized reaction of ethene with water
Is ethene gas a single bond?
No, ethylene (ethene) has a carbon-carbon double bond, in addition to four other single bonds between carbon and hydrogen.
What is the chemical equation for ethanol?
ethanol dissolves in water because both ethanol and water are polar. there is no other chemical reaction
