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)

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.)
