This is a classic electrophilic addition reaction and can be carried out with any of the halogens except fluorine which just explodes and ruins the whole thing!
What's actually happening is that bromine becomes polarised on approach to the hexene double bond due to the pi bond electrons. These 'attack' the positively charged side of the bromine molecule forming a bromonium ion and leaving a negatively charged bromide ion. This then attacks the reverse side of the molecule (because it is easier to access (hindrance) and because the carbon is positvely charged). This forms the final product which is a dibromohexane...

What type of reaction occurs between hex-1-ene and aqueous bromine?
It is an addition reaction which will then give us bromohydrin
Which type of reaction occurs when bromine and lithium iodide react to form lithium bromide and iodine?
a displacement reaction
Which reaction occurs when bromine is added to an aqueous solution of iodide ions?
2I- + Br2 ---> I2 + 2Br-
What type of bond would occurs between francium and bromine?
This bond should be ionic.
What happens when bromine water is added to ethanol?
It will turn colorless because bromine is an unsaturated compound and unsaturated compound have double bonds
What type of reaction occurs between hexene and hydrogen?
The type of reaction that occurs between Hexene and Hydrogen is nothing when the unactivated catalyst is around 100 degrees. When it is between 200 and 300 degrees there is extensive reaction.
What type of reaction occurs between hex-1-ene and aqueous bromine?
It is an addition reaction which will then give us bromohydrin
Which type of reaction occurs when bromine and lithium iodide react to form lithium bromide and iodine?
a displacement reaction
What happens when you mix bromine and sodium?
An extremely exothermic reaction occurs producing Sodium Bromide
Which reaction occurs when bromine is added to an aqueous solution of iodide ions?
2I- + Br2 ---> I2 + 2Br-
What type of bond would occurs between francium and bromine?
This bond should be ionic.
Is bromine synthetic?
No, Bromine is not a synthetic element, it occurs naturally
How bromine water can be used to test for an alkene?
Alkenes, or hydrocarbons with at least one double bond undergo an addition reaction when combined with bromine (Br2). The general reaction is H2C=CH2 --> H2BrC--CBrH2, and it occurs readily. This reaction is a good way to identify alkenes because bromine has a reddish color, while alkanes and alkenes are colorless. So if bromine is added to an unknown hydrocarbon, the disappearance of the color is an indication of the presence of a pi bond.
What reaction occurs between two bases?
Normally no reaction will occur between two bases.
What happens when bromine water is added to ethanol?
It will turn colorless because bromine is an unsaturated compound and unsaturated compound have double bonds
What type of reaction occurs between MgO and Ca?
double decomposition
Chemical reaction between nitric acid and protein?
Any reaction between nitric acid and ammonium nitrate.
