Ethene and bromine react together to give 1,2-dibromoethane. Write a balanced symbol equation for this reaction

OpenStudy (abb0t):

ethene is C\(_2\)H\(_4\) bromine is a diatomic species, so you have Br\(_2\) Can you do the rest form here? You are basically getting rid of the double bond here on ethene and adding bromine on both sides. |dw:1428877624275:dw|

C\(_2\)H\(_4\) + Br\(_2\) \(\rightarrow\) C\(_2\)H\(_4\)Br\(_2\)
