The key difference between benzene and toluene is their structure; toluene has a methyl group attached to the benzene ring while benzene has no methyl groups attached. Benzene and Toluene are two aromatic compounds having a slight difference between them in their structure. This structural difference has led to various differences in their reactivity and usage. In […]
液化天然气vs LPG LNG and LPG are energy sources. They are flammable, and combustion releases energy. Both are mixtures which are mainly composed of hydrocarbons. Both LNG and LPG are composed of gases, but they are converted to liquid form in order to store and transport easily. So they are stored under high pressurised […]
Phenyl vs Benzyl Both phenyl and benzyl are derived from benzene, and commonly confused by students of chemistry. Phenyl is a hydrocarbon molecule with the formula C6H5, whereas benzyl is C6H5CH2; an extra CH2 group attached to the benzene ring. Phenyl Phenyl is a hydrocarbon molecule with the formula C6H5. This is derived […]
Halogen vs Xenon Different elements in the periodic table have different properties, but elements with similar properties are put together and made groups. Halogen Halogens are a series of non-metals in the group 17, in the periodic table. Fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I) and astatine (At) are the halogens. Halogens are […]
Acrylic vs Latex Paints are of different types; some are for fabric painting, some are for building paintings, and there are separate paints for art work.

Primary vs Secondary Pollutants With industrialization and urbanization, lot of pollutants are released to the environment. It is important to know about the pollutants, their effects and how they are released to the environment in order to minimize their harmful effects. We talk about air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, noise pollution and various […]
Formula Weight vs Molecular Weight Atoms join and make molecules. Atoms can join in various combinations to form molecules, and for our study purposes, we have certain ways of indicating the molecules. Molecular formulas are different types. Before talking about formula weight or molecular weight, it is necessary to know what are a molecular […]
Gold vs White Gold Gold and white gold are expensive materials used for jewellery making. People choose gold or white gold depending on their tastes. Except few differences, both are good starting materials for jewelleries. Gold Gold is a transition metal with the chemical symbol Au. Au is from the Latin word ‘aurum’ which […]
Gold vs Platinum Gold and platinum are considered to be metals used for jewellery making, and they are expensive. Both are less reactive elements and are ideal for jewelleries. Gold Gold is a transition metal with the chemical symbol Au. Au is from the Latin word ‘aurum’ which means ‘shining dawn’. Gold is in […]
Physical vs Chemical Weathering We see mountains or large rocks stay as it is for years without changing. May be, for hundreds of years, we may not see them changing. However, changes are taking place there which we cannot see because those changes are very small and taking place very slowly. Weathering is such […]
