When ethylene reacts with bromine, it forms ethylene dibromide.

H2C=CH2Ethylene 6mu+Br2Bromine→H2⥂C∣−BrC∣⥂H2Br 6mu 6muEthylene dibromide\underset{\text{Ethylene}}{H_{2}C = CH_{2}}\mspace{6mu} + \underset{\text{Bromine}}{Br_{2}} \rightarrow \underset{\text{Ethylene dibromide}}{H_{2} ⥂ \underset{Br}{\underset{|}{C} -}\underset{Br\mspace{6mu}\mspace{6mu}}{\underset{|}{C} ⥂ H_{2}}}
