Twin: The Addition Reaction

Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

An addition reaction breaks a double or triple bond's pi component and forms two new single bonds, one to each carbon, changing their hybridization.

Show

Bromine adds across ethene's double bond, converting the sp2 carbons to sp3 and yielding 1,2-dibromoethane.

Watch for

Addition happens at an existing multiple bond and changes carbon hybridization — confusing it with the mechanism named next is this twin's target.
