Chemistry - Examples of addition reactions of ethylene

Examples of addition reactions of ethylene

Examples of addition reactions of ethylene include:

This is a common test for _distinguishing between saturated and
unsaturated hydrocarbons._ Unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkenes
decolorise bromine water when the Br atoms add across the double bond.

Saturated hydrocarbons such as alkanes do not react with bromine and so do
not decolorise bromine water.
