Answer:
The drawing of the mechanism and the organic product is shown below.
Explanation:
Alkynes react with bromine to form a dihaloalkene (with an equivalent of the halogen) or a tetrahaloalkane derivative (with two equivalents of the halogen), which is this case. The triple bond adds two halogen molecules as shown in the drawing, an anti addition occurring.

Answer:
In general, the energy needed to remove an electron (the ionization energy) increases as the atomic number increases across a period.
Explanation:
Each additional proton increases the attraction between the nucleus and the electron.
Thus, it takes more energy to remove an electron as you add extra protons.
