This is called an addition reaction - a typical addition reaction occurs with bromine. The reaction makes the reddish brown colour of 'bromine solution' disappear.
ethene + bromine → dibromoethane
(colourless gas)(brown) (colourless)
C2H4(g) + Br2 (aq) → C2H4Br2 (aq)
ethene + bromine → dibromoethane
(colourless gas)(brown) (colourless)
C2H4(g) + Br2 (aq) → C2H4Br2 (aq)
