The short version of this story is that exposing an alkene to a halogen and water yields a halohydrin. So the double bond in an alkene (C=C) becomes a single bond and one of the carbons gains a bond to a halogen and the other carbon gains a bond to a hydroxyl group. I just described the same thing twice and you still want a picture? Fine. I live to serve...
Making that picture just took valuable time that could have been spent playing Oblivion. I hope you're happy.
