The key difference between stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric defects is that stoichiometric defects do not disturb the stoichiometry of the compound whereas nonstoichiometric defects disturb the stoichiometry of the compound. There are two main types of defects present in crystal structures; namely, stoichiometric defects and nonstoichiometric defects. In a stoichiometric compound, its chemical formula indicates the […]
Difference Between HDPE and MDPE
The key difference between HDPE and MDPE is that HDPE has a high sensitivity to stress cracking whereas MDPE has better stress cracking resistance when compared to HDPE. The terms HDPE stands for high density polyethylene while the terms MDPE stands for medium density polyethylene. Polyethylene or polythene is a polymer material consisting of repeating […]
Difference Between Epoxy and Polyurethane
The key difference between epoxy and polyurethane is that the epoxy contains epoxide groups whereas polyurethanes contain urethane linkages. In the application point of view, the main difference between epoxy and polyurethane is that the epoxy resins can resist moderate temperatures while the polyurethanes can withstand high temperatures. Both epoxy and polyurethane are polymer materials. […]
Difference Between Hydraulic Fluid and Hydraulic Oil
The key difference between hydraulic fluid and hydraulic oil is that hydraulic fluid is used in automatic transmissions in automobile systems whereas hydraulic oil can not be used for this purpose. Hydraulic oil is the most common form of hydraulic fluids. Therefore, many people tend to use these two terms interchangeably. CONTENTS 1. Overview and […]
Difference Between Vinyl and Linoleum
The key difference between vinyl and linoleum is that the vinyl is a product of petroleum oil whereas the linoleum is a product of linseed oil. Further, the vinyl tile is easy to install and maintain while linoleum tile is a bit hard to install and maintan but is water resistant. Vinyl and linoleum are […]
Difference Between Dispersed Phase and Dispersion Medium
The key difference between dispersed phase and dispersion medium is that the dispersed phase is a discontinuous phase whereas the dispersion medium is a continuous medium. A dispersion is a two-component system that consists of dispersed phase and dispersion medium. The dispersed phase has particles that distribute throughout the dispersion medium. CONTENTS 1. Overview and […]
Difference Between Uniaxial and Biaxial Crystals
The key difference between uniaxial and biaxial crystals is that uniaxial crystals have a single optic axis whereas biaxial crystals have two optic axes. The optic axis of a crystal is the direction that the light propagates through the crystal without facing double refraction. All the light waves that are parallel to this axis do […]
Difference Between Fluconazole and Itraconazole
The key difference between Fluconazole and Itraconazole is that though both are antifungal medications, fluconazole is not active against Aspergillus whereas Itraconazole is active against Aspergillus. Therefore, itraconazole has a broad range of activity than fluconazole. The trade name of fluconazole is Diflucan, and the trade name of itraconazole is Sporanox. CONTENTS 1. Overview and Key […]
Difference Between Chemostat and Turbidostat
The key difference between chemostat and turbidostat is that a single nutrient can limit the microbial growth inside the chemostat while a single nutrient cannot control the microbial growth inside the turbidostat. Microorganisms are grown in liquid cultures in order to multiply them in a large scale. Continuous microbial culture technique is one type of […]
Difference Between Saturated and Unsaturated Fats
The key difference between saturated and unsaturated fats is that saturated fats do not have double bonds between fatty acid chains while unsaturated fats have double bonds in the fatty acid chains. Fat or lipid is an important macromolecule which contains a central glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains linked together. There are two […]
