Abstract Organic chemistry is an important module in the high school education, which is beneficial for the development of core competencies and values. Understanding the reaction mechanism promotes the ability of substance exploration from a microcosmic view. However, the introduction to the addition reaction of ethene and bromine lacks accuracy in the different editions of current chemistry textbooks. We compared the content of alkene addition in A-Level Chemistry and Fundamental Organic Chemistry, and discussed the characteristics in each version.
