As chemistry alkenes
Write a balanced equation for the reaction of myrcene C10H16 with bromine to produced a fully saturated compound A. Use the molecule formulae of the molecules.
Normally I'm ok at equations but I'm finding this so hard, any help is appreciated!

Are you familiar with the IHD (Index of Hydrogen deficiency)?
If not, what is the general formula for an alkane?
What is the formula of a saturated hydrocarbon with 10 carbon atoms?

CnH2n+2 so C10H22?

Correct, so how many double bonds are there in YOUR molecule?

None?
So what took the place of the missing hydrogen atoms then?
dont you just add the molecular formula with 2br2 and it would form an haloalkane with the formula: C10H16Br4
It has 2 double bonds as c10 would create 20 hydrogens but as you only have 16. we can assume that there are 2 bonds.
