a reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form a bigger molecule is called addition reaction. an unsaturated hydrogen combines with another substance to form a single product. this reaction takes place only in unsaturated compounds where there are double or triple bonds.

C₂H₄ + Br₂ → C₂H₄Br₂
