Answer #1

alkene has the double bond and when it reacts with br2(which is having the one Br with +ve charge and another Br with -ve charge) the pi bond electrons are nucleophilic in nature and due to electromeric effect these pi bond electrons attacks on the Br which is having +ve charge in br2 forms the bromonium ion instead of carbocation then the remaining Br with -ve charge attacks on bromonium ion via anti addition i.e both bromines are opposite to each other and forms the final product is anti addition product
