Two compounds have the same molecular formula, C2H2Br2. One has a dipole moment; the other does not.

Question:

Two compounds have the same molecular formula, C2H2Br2. One has a dipole moment; the other does not. Both compounds react with bromine, Br2, to produce the same compound. This reaction is a generally accepted test for double bonds, and each bromine atom of Br2 adds to a different atom of the double bond. What is the identity of the original compounds? Describe the argument you use.
