To me, EtBr=Ethydium Bromide

EtBr seems like a perfectly logical abbreviation for bromoethane, but please note that to anybody with a molecular biology background, EtBr will mean ethydium bromide. Just be careful while you're doing research on this topic. --24.5.194.174 (talk) 16:34, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Bromoethane. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20051012221857/http://www-cie.iarc.fr/htdocs/monographs/vol71/068-bromoeth.html to http://www-cie.iarc.fr/htdocs/monographs/vol71/068-bromoeth.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at Template:Tlx).

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 06:44, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Probable error in section: Preparation

Look at the last part of the Preparation section. It currently reads:
Or Bromoethene reacts with hydrobromic acid to form Bromoethane.

CH2=CH2 + HBr ---------. CH3-CH2Br

The reaction with symbols disagrees with the text. I think the text is incorrect, and the 2nd word should be "ethene" or "ethylene" instead of Bromoethene. Someone who knows more than I do, should actually do this edit. (While doing the edit, one could also make an arrow symbol by changing one period to a "greater than" sign.)

Thank you! I removed the flawed part. Please keep looking for other errors.--Smokefoot (talk) 04:47, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
