Answer:
The double bond breaks, and a bromine atom becomes attached to each carbon. Thebromine loses its original red-brown colour to give a colourless liquid. In the case of the reaction with ethene, 1,2-dibromoethane is formed. If an aqueous solution of bromine is used ("bromine water"), you get a mixture of products.
