What is halogenation?

Answers

Halogenation is an addition reaction in which a halogen (Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) reacts with an alkyne to form an alkene then alkane.
The reaction of alkynes with halogens with alkynes is faster than with alkenes. The triple bond in the alkyne break and form a double then single bond.
The colour of the halogen fades as the number of moles of the halogens remaining unreacted decreases.
Two bromine atoms bond at the 1st carbon in the triple bond while the other two goes to the 2nd carbon
