(a) Begin by drawing the structure of 1-pentene and of diatomic chlorine $(Cl_2)$ .
Knowing that one chlorine atom will form a covalent bond with each of the carbon atoms of the carbon-carbon double bond, we can write the product and complete the equation.

(b) Begin by drawing the structure of trans-2-butene and of diatomic bromine $(Br_2)$ .
Knowing that one bromine atom will form a covalent bond with each of the carbon atoms of the carbon-carbon double bond, we can write the product and complete the equation.
