Explaining the bromine water test for an alkene

Показать описание
We know from GCSE that the test for an alkene or a C=C double bond is to shake the unknown substance with orange bromine water and it will decolorise. In this video I work through the details of the reaction mechanism in this video and explain why the product is a bromoalcohol, not a dibromoalkane.
