### Bromination of an Alkyne on an Educational Website

#### Problem Statement:
**Give the product.**

An alkyne reacts with 2 equivalents of bromine (Br₂), and the goal is to determine which structure (a to f) is the resulting product.

#### Reaction Schema:

\[
 \text{Alkyne} \xrightarrow{\text{Br}_2 \, (\text{2 eq})} 
\]
The reactant and possible products are displayed as follows:

##### Reactant (Alkyne):
- A triple-bonded carbon structure (\[triple bond\]).

##### Reaction with Br₂ (2 equivalents):
- The alkyne undergoes a transformation when treated with 2 equivalents of bromine.

#### Potential Products:

- **(a)** A molecule with two bromine atoms each attached to a different carbon atom with single bonds.
  
  Structure:
  \[
    \begin{align*}
    & \quad Br \\
    -C-C \\
    & \quad Br
    \end{align*}
  \]
  
- **(b)** A molecule with two bromine atoms each attached to different carbon atoms of a previously triple-bonded structure, now with single bonds.

  Structure:
  \[
    \begin{align*}
    \quad \\
    Br-C-C-Br
    \end{align*}
  \]

- **(c)** A molecule with one carbon attached to three bromine atoms and a second carbon attached to one bromine atom, losing the triple bond structure.

  Structure:
  \[
    \begin{align*}
    \quad Br \\
    Br-C(+Br)-C \\
    & \quad Br
    \end{align*}
  \]

- **(d)** A molecule where two bromine atoms are attached to carbons in a different spatial orientation relative to other options.

  Structure:
  \[
    \begin{align*}
    \quad Br \\
    C=C-C(+Br)
    \end{align*}
  \]

- **(e)** A linear molecule with no bromine atoms, retaining a structure similar to the alkyne.

  Structure:
  \[
    \begin{align*}
    -C=C-C
    \end{align*}
  \]

- **(f)** A molecule with a staggered structure but no bromine
