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.
