tétrabrométhane : Composé de formule C2H2Br4. (Seul l’isomère 1,1,2,2, de formule Br2-CH-CHBr2 est important; il se forme par action du brome sur l’acétylène, d’où son nom de tétrabromure d’acétylène. Sa densité élevée et sa faible volatilité le font employer comme liqueur dense pour la séparation des minéraux). 4, record 1, French, - 1%2C1%2C2%2C2%2Dt%C3%A9trabromo%C3%A9thane

tetrabromoethane: A generic term that encompasses two different isomers, i.e. CHBr2-CHBr2, the 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane form, also called acetylene tetrabromide, and BrCH2-CBr3. Since the first one is the only one important, it is the only one given in the English sources. See the record for "acetylene tetrabromide". 2, record 2, English, - tetrabromoethane
