From what I remember,2-pentene is the unknownBromine in CCl4is red. When brominereacts with an alkene or alkyne, the alkyl halide formed is colorless; hence a disappearance of thered color is a positive test forunsaturation. Addition of Chlorine orBromine to the Alkene Double Bond. Thehalogen molecule always adds to adjacent carbon atoms. Examples of chlorine or bromine addition to: 2-pentene i hope that helps.
