A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Bromine water is an orange solution of bromine. It becomes colourless when it is shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, but alkanes cannot. The slideshow shows this process.

They either undergo “bond dissociation,” where one bromine atom breaks off from the rest of the molecule, or “isomerization,” where the molecule’s atoms rearrange, but the molecule stays ...

In this process, the X-ray photons trigger a 'molecular catapult effect': light atomic groups are ejected first, similar to projectiles fired from a catapult, while the heavier atoms -- bromine ...

Theory says that it undergoes two different processes under UV exposure: in dissociation, one bromine atom breaks away from ...
