**Chemical Reaction Description for Educational Website**

**Reaction Type:**
Halogenation Reaction

**Reactants:**

- **Organic Compound:** 
  - **Structure:** A double-bonded alkene, 2-methylpropene, with the formula \( \text{H}_3\text{C-C(=CH}_2\text{)-CH}_3 \).
  
- **Reagents:**
  - **Bromine (\( \text{Br}_2 \))**: A diatomic halogen used to add bromine atoms across a double bond.
  - **Acetic Acid (\( \text{CH}_3\text{CO}_2\text{H} \))**: Solvent and catalyst that facilitates the reaction.

**Reaction Description:**
The alkene undergoes an electrophilic addition reaction with bromine. The double bond in the organic compound reacts with bromine, resulting in the addition of bromine atoms across the double bond, leading to the formation of a dibromo compound. 

**Expected Product:**
The product is not specified in the image (denoted by "?"), but typically, the alkene 2-methylpropene will react with bromine in the presence of acetic acid to form 2,3-dibromo-2-methylpropane. This process illustrates a typical halogenation, where the bromine molecules add across the carbon-carbon double bond.
