**Question 23:**In the reaction shown, a hydrocarbon reacts with bromine (\(Br_2\)) to form a dibromo compound. The structural formula of the reactant is drawn as:\[ \begin{array}{c}H \quad H \\ \backslash / \\ C = C \\ / \backslash \\H \quad H \\\end{array}\]The product is shown as:\[ \begin{array}{c}H \quad H \\ \backslash / \\ C - C \\ / \backslash \\Br \quad Br \\\end{array}\]**Text:**"The halogenation reaction above will always produce ______ isomers."**Options:**- a. cis-- b. trans-- c. both cis- and trans-- d. neither cis- nor trans-The reaction shown involves the addition of bromine (\(Br_2\)) across the double bond of ethene to form 1,2-dibromoethane. This addition results in a molecule that does not have any geometric isomerism (cis-trans isomerism) because the product does not have a double bond or a planar structure necessary for such isomerism. Hence, the correct answer is:**d. neither cis- nor trans-**

Electrophilic addition reactions are the reaction in which the electrophile will get added to the nucleophilic center. The main reactions of this kind of mechanisms are hydration of alkenes, halogenation of alkenes and hydrohalogenation of alkenes.The given reaction is the halogenation reaction of alkene. The concept of cis and trans isomers is studied in geometrical isomers that is in alkenes but after the halogenation, the alkene which unsaturated is converted to the saturated one where there is no concept of cis and trans isomer. So, the correct option is (d) neither cis- nor trans-
