Well if you used the Search function you could find some good results.

http://community.boredofstudies.org...reaction-bromine-water.html?highlight=bromine
http://community.boredofstudies.org/17/chemistry/128274/how-i-do.html?highlight=bromine
http://community.boredofstudies.org...anes-alkenes-equations.html?highlight=bromine

So ...

The double bond is a functional group of alkenes, this is called an addition reaction that allows Bromine atoms to freely join the alkene by splitting a bond.

If this was given to me as an actual Chem assignment, I would no doubt do it with better quality than I am doing now.

For more info ...

thanks f3nr15 for the answer....

however, there's one thing which i must dispute regarding the addition of bromine (yes i sound like a bored bitch again)

please note this is probably not necessary to be known for hsc purposes... just for completeness purposes.

it is to my knowledge that the double bond breaks and one bromine and one OH is added to the double bond, HBr is the other biproduct which is formed.

ps, cool DP. i'm a fan of GSD as well, though i really dislike Auel =(.

I can't be bothered remembering the equations behind it but I know there's a substitution and addition reaction going on ... did I forget to mention substitution is stimulated via UV light ?

Regarding GSD ... Auel can be a prick I know, but he's awesome at times ...

when yuo are in doubt just look at the syllabus ... dont write essays for Chemistry coz theyre aint ... and if teh teacher teaches/taught yuo oxidation numbers, say miss or mr if man, tahts outta teh syllabus k ?
