The key difference between magnetic quantum number and spin quantum number is that magnetic quantum number is useful in differentiating orbitals available within subshells, whereas spin quantum number describes the energy, shape and orientation of an orbital. Quantum numbers are a set of values that describe the unique quantum state of an electron in an […]

Difference Between Group 1 and Group 2 Elements
The key difference between group 1 and group 2 elements is that all group 1 elements have unpaired electrons in their outermost orbital, whereas group 2 elements have paired electrons in their outermost orbital. Groups 1 and 2 of the periodic table contain s block elements. That means; these elements have their outermost electrons in […]
Difference Between NCE and NME
The key difference between NCE and NME is that NCE has no active moiety that has ever been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) whereas NME has an active moiety that has not been approved by the FDA previously. The terms NCE and NME are used to categorize drugs according to the presence […]
Difference Between Sarcopterygii and Actinopterygii
The key difference between Sarcopterygii and Actinopterygii is that sarcopterygii is a class of bony fish, consisting of lobed fish that have fleshy, lobed and paired fins. Meanwhile, actinopterygii is a class of bony fish, consisting of ray-finned fish that have fins supported by horny spines. Fish that belong to the group osteichthyan are vertebrates. […]
Difference Between Endomysium and Sarcolemma
The key difference between endomysium and sarcolemma is that endomysium is a layer of connective tissue that surrounds a muscle cell while sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of a muscle cell. Muscle tissue is one of the four main types of tissues present in our body. The muscle cell is the structural unit of muscle […]
Difference Between Dextrorotatory and Levorotatory
The key difference between dextrorotatory and levorotatory is that dextrorotatory refers to the rotation of plane-polarized light to the right side, whereas levorotatory refers to the rotation of plane-polarized light to the left side. Optical rotation refers to the rotation of the orientation of the plane (of light) when the light passes through a chemical […]
Difference Between Chromate and Dichromate
The key difference between chromate and dichromate is that chromate appears in a bright yellow colour, whereas dichromate appears in a bright orange colour. Chromate and dichromate are anions containing chromium and oxygen atoms. Therefore, they are oxyanions of chromium. We often use these terms as general terms to name the compounds containing these anions. […]
Difference Between Alternate and Whorled Phyllotaxy
The key difference between alternate and whorled phyllotaxy is that in alternate phyllotaxy, there is a single leaf at each node of the plant stem while in whorled phyllotaxy, there are three or more leaves at each node of the plant stem. Phyllotaxy is the arrangement of leaves on the stem of a plant. In […]
Difference Between X Inactivation and Genomic Imprinting
The key difference between X inactivation and genomic imprinting is that X inactivation is the process by which one copy of X chromosome is inactivated in some females, while genomic imprinting is a process that depends on parent of origin and it is the process in which copies of genes are differentially expressed. X inactivation […]
Difference Between Macroscopic and Microscopic Properties
The key difference between macroscopic and microscopic properties is that macroscopic properties are the properties of matter in bulk whereas microscopic properties are properties of the constituents of matter in bulk. The term microscopic refers to anything that is invisible to the naked eye. Therefore, microscopic properties refer to the properties of matter at microscopic […]
