The key difference between butane and butene is that the butane has no double or triple bonds between carbon atoms whereas the butene contains a double bond between carbon atoms. Butane and butene are organic compounds that have four carbon atoms per molecule. But they have differences in their chemical structures such as their chemical bonding […]

Difference Between Bribery and Corruption
Bribery is only a form of corruption, but corruption also includes many other dishonest practices such as embezzlement, fraud, nepotism, collusion and abuse of power. This is the key difference between bribery and corruption. Most people assume that bribery and corruption have the same meaning. But this is not exactly correct. Bribery involves dishonestly persuading […]
Difference Between Chlorine and Chlorine Dioxide
The key difference between chlorine and chlorine dioxide is that the oxidation state of chlorine atom in chlorine or chlorine gas is zero whereas the oxidation state of chlorine atom in chlorine dioxide is +4. Further, the physical difference between chlorine and chlorine dioxide is that the chlorine is a pale yellow-green gas with a […]
Difference Between Calcium Hypochlorite and Sodium Hypochlorite
The key difference between calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite is that the calcium hypochlorite contains two hypochlorite anions associated with one calcium cation whereas sodium hypochlorite contains one hypochlorite anion associated with one sodium cation. In appearance, calcium hypochlorite is a white to a grey powder while sodium hypochlorite is a greenish-yellow solid with a […]
Difference Between Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling
The key difference between amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling is that in amniocentesis, a small amount of amniotic fluid is taken for testing while in chorionic villus sampling, a small sample of the placenta is taken for testing. Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling are two prenatal diagnostic procedures that determine certain fetal genetic abnormalities. These […]
Difference Between Consistent and Constant
The key difference between consistent and constant is that consistent means unchanging whereas constant means unceasing. In other words, consistent describes something that does not vary while constant describes something that does not stop. Consistent and constant are two adjectives that confuse many people. Both these adjectives are used to describe people as well as […]
Difference Between Ovarian Cycle and Menstrual Cycle

Ovarian cycle and menstrual cycle are two cycles occurring in women. These two cycles prepare a […]
Difference Between Placenta and Uterus
The key difference between placenta and uterus is that the placenta is the spongy disk-like muscular organ that provides nutrients from maternal blood to fetal blood and transports waste products from fetal blood to maternal blood while the uterus also called as the womb is the female reproductive organ where a fertilized egg or the […]
Difference Between Dispersant and Surfactant
The key difference between dispersant and surfactant is that the dispersant improves the separation of particles in a suspension whereas the surfactant is a substance that can lower the surface tension between two phases of matter. A dispersant is a form of surfactant. But all surfactants are not dispersants. A surfactant can act as a […]
Difference Between Aggregation and Agglomeration
The key difference between aggregation and agglomeration is that the aggregation forms clumps having strong chemical forces between particles whereas the agglomeration forms clumps having weak physical interactions between particles. Though the terms aggregation and agglomeration sound similar, they are two different terms that we use mainly in surface chemistry and polymer chemistry. However, most […]
