the addition-elimination reaction sequence.

Addition reactions are useful in analytic chemistry, as they can identify the existence and number of double bonds in a molecule. For example, bromine addition will consume a bromine solution, resulting in a color change:

:RR'C=CRR' + Br2(orange-brown) ->[\ce{CCl4}] RR'CBr-BrCRR'(typically\ colorless)

Likewise hydrogen addition
