The key difference between dendrobium and phalaenopsis orchids is that Dendrobium orchids produce a flower that flourishes for up to six weeks while Phalaenopsis orchids produce a flower that flourishes for up to three months. Family Orchidaceae or orchid family is one of the largest flowering plant families. In fact, it is the second-largest family […]

Difference Between DNA and RNA Nucleotide
The key difference between DNA and RNA nucleotide is that DNA nucleotide or deoxyribonucleotide contains deoxyribose sugar while RNA nucleotide or ribonucleotide contains ribose sugar. Nucleotides are the basic unit of nucleic acids. They are the building blocks or monomers of DNA and RNA. They link with each other to form a polynucleotide chain, which […]
Difference Between Carbon NMR and Proton NMR
The key difference between carbon NMR and proton NMR is that carbon NMR determines the type and the number of carbon atoms in an organic molecule whereas proton NMR determines the type and the number of hydrogen atoms in an organic molecule. NMR is a chemical term we use in analytical chemistry to indicate Nuclear […]
Difference Between Variegated Leaf and Etiolated Leaf
The key difference between variegated leaf and etiolated leaf is that variegated leaves are differently coloured leaves while etiolated leaves are small pale yellow-white coloured leaves. Leaves are the major photosynthetic parts of the plants. They are mostly green in colour. They have abundant chloroplasts filled with chlorophylls. However, there are leaves that possess different […]
Difference Between Boron Nitride and Graphite
The key difference between boron nitride and graphite is that boron nitride is composed of boron and nitrogen atoms, whereas graphite is composed of carbon atoms. Boron nitride and graphite are important crystalline materials. They have different atomic compositions, which results in different chemical and physical properties. CONTENTS 1. Overview and Key Difference 2. What […]
Difference Between Torr and mmHg
The key difference between torr and mmHg is that the value of one torr can be obtained by dividing 101325 from 760, whereas the value of one mmHg is given exactly as 133.3224. Both torr and mmHg are units of measurement of pressure. In the past, it was considered that both these units have the […]
Difference Between Microstate and Macrostate
The key difference between microstate and macrostate is that microstate refers to the microscopic configuration of a thermodynamic system, whereas macrostate refers to the macroscopic properties of a thermodynamic system. Microstate and macrostate are two forms of chemical concepts that are used regarding thermodynamic systems. Microstate of a thermodynamic system describes the microscopic properties of […]
Difference Between Monocolpate and Tricolpate
The key difference between monocolpate and tricolpate is that monocolpate pollens have a single furrow on one side while tricolpate pollens have three meridionally placed furrows. Another major difference between monocolpate and tricolpate is that monocolpate pollens are characteristic to monocotyledons while tricolpate pollens are characteristic to dicotyledons. Pollen grains are male microgametophytes of seed […]
Difference Between Radioactivity and Transmutation
The key difference between radioactivity and transmutation is that radioactivity refers to natural transmutation, whereas transmutation refers to the change of one chemical element into another via either natural or artificial means. Both radioactivity and transmutation are chemical processes that involve the change of atomic nuclei to form a new chemical element from an existing […]
Difference Between Spectrochemical Series and Nephelauxetic Series
The key difference between spectrochemical series and nephelauxetic series is that spectrochemical series of ligands have weak ligands in the left side and strong ligands in the right side whereas nephelauxetic series contains ligands with lesser ability to form covalent bonds with metal ions and ligands in the right side have a greater ability to […]
