Dynamic Equilibrium vs Equilibrium When one or more reactants are converting to products, they may go through different modifications and energy changes. The chemical bonds in the reactants break and new bonds form, to generate products, which are totally different from the reactants. This chemical modification is known as chemical reactions. There are numerous […]
Electrode vs Electrolyte Electrolyte and electrode are two very important concepts discussed in the fields of electrochemistry. An electrolyte is basically a solution of ions. An electrode is a device that is used to create an electrical connection between a conductor and a non-conductor. Both of these concepts are widely used in fields such […]
Ethyl vs Methyl Ethyl and methyl are substituents derived from alkane hydrocarbons. These groups are largely seen in organic chemistry. They are known as alkyl groups. In the nomenclature of these groups, the ending –ane part of the corresponding alkane name is substituted with –yl. Ethyl Ethane is a simple aliphatic hydrocarbon molecule with […]
Atomic Structure vs Crystal Structure In this article, main focus is on the internal arrangement of an atom and a crystal. What we see from outside is a result of the internal arrangement of atoms or molecules. Sometimes, the external view may be different from the internal structure; but they are not completely independent […]
Sodium Chloride vs Sodium Iodide Sodium, which symbolized as Na is a group 1 element with the atomic number 11. Sodium has properties of a group 1 metal. Its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1. It can release one electron, which is in 3s sub orbital and produce a +1 cation. Electronegativity of […]
Atomic Mass vs Molar Mass Atoms can join in various combinations to form molecules and other compounds. Molecular structures give the exact ratios of atoms; thus, we can write molecular formulas for compounds. These are important in determining the molecular masses or molar masses. Molecules are characterized by their masses. Knowing about molecular mass […]
Polar vs Nonpolar Covalent Bonds As proposed by the American chemist G.N.Lewis, atoms are stable when they contain eight electrons in their valence shell. Most of the atoms have less than eight electrons in their valence shells (except the noble gases in the group 18 of the periodic table); therefore, they are not stable. […]
Conjugation vs Resonance Conjugation and resonance are two important phenomena in understanding the behavior of molecules. What is Conjugation? In a molecule when there is alternating single and multiple bonds present, we say that the system is conjugated. For example, benzene molecule is a conjugated system. In a multiple bond, there is one sigma […]
Deionized vs Distilled water Water covers more than 70% of the earths’ surface. Out of this, a larger portion of water is in the oceans and seas, which is about 97%. Rivers, lakes, and ponds have 0.6% of water, and about 2% is there in polar ice caps and glaciers. Some amount of water […]
Electron Pair Geometry vs Molecular Geometry The geometry of a molecule is important in determining its properties like color, magnetism, reactivity, polarity, etc. There are various methods of determining the geometry. There are many types of geometries. Linear, bent, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, tetrahedral, octahedral are some of the commonly seen geometries. What is […]
