The key difference between excimer and exciplex is that excimer has two species, whereas exciplex has more than two species. An excimer can be described as a short-lived dimeric or heterodimeric molecule that forms from two species where at least one species has a valence shell with a completed electron configuration. Exciplex and excimer are […]
What is the Difference Between Self Diffusion and Interdiffusion
The key difference between self diffusion and interdiffusion is that self diffusion refers to the atomic migration in pure metals when all the atoms in the crystal structure that exchange positions are of the same type, whereas interdiffusion refers to the diffusion of atoms of one metal into another metal. Self diffusion describes the change […]
What is the Difference Between Ionic Equilibrium and Chemical Equilibrium
The key difference between ionic equilibrium and chemical equilibrium is that ionic equilibrium occurs between unionized molecules and ions in an electrolyte, whereas chemical equilibrium occurs between chemical reactants and products. Ionic and chemical equilibrium are important phenomena in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium is the equilibrium that is established between unionized molecules and the ions in […]
What is the Difference Between Lennard Jones and Morse Potential
The key difference between Lennard Jones and Morse potential is that Lennard Jones potential provides a comparatively less accurate and less generalized description, whereas Morse potential provides a more accurate and generalized description for modeling covalent material and surface interactions. Both Lennar Jones potential and Morse potential are important potential energy models we can use to […]
What is the Difference Between Isothermal and Adiabatic Elasticity
The key difference between isothermal and adiabatic elasticity is that isothermal elasticity occurs when the temperature is kept constant, whereas adiabatic elasticity occurs when no net heat exchange occurs between the system and its surrounding. Isothermal elasticity is the type of elasticity that occurs when the gas is compressed in a way that the temperature […]
What is the Difference Between Canonical and Grand Canonical Ensemble
The key difference between canonical and grand canonical ensemble is that canonical ensemble describes a system in thermal equilibrium with a heat reservoir at a given temperature, whereas grand canonical ensemble describes a system in contact with both a heat reservoir and a particle reservoir. Canonical ensemble can be described as the statistical ensemble representing […]
What is the Difference Between Elastic Modulus and Young’s Modulus
The key difference between elastic modulus and Young’s modulus is that elastic modulus refers to the ratio of the force exerted upon a substance to the resultant deformation, whereas Young’s modulus refers to the measure of the ability of a material to withstand changes in length when it is under lengthwise tension or compression. Elastic […]
What is the Difference Between Chemical Kinetics and Thermodynamics
The key difference between chemical kinetics and thermodynamics is that chemical kinetics refers to rates of chemical reactions, whereas thermodynamics refers to the direction of reactions. The term chemical kinetics refers to the branch of physical chemistry that deals with the rates of chemical reactions. Thermodynamics refers to the branch of physical science that deals […]
What is the Difference Between Macroscopic and Microscopic in Thermodynamics
The key difference between macroscopic and microscopic in thermodynamics is that macroscopic thermodynamics refers to the relationships between large scale bulk properties of a system, whereas microscopic thermodynamics refers to the relationships between small scale properties of a system. In this article, we are describing two forms of thermodynamics according to the properties of the […]
What is the Difference Between Pool Boiling and Flow Boiling
The key difference between pool boiling and flow boiling is that pool boiling occurs in the absence of bulk fluid flow, whereas flow boiling occurs in the presence of bulk fluid flow. Pool boiling is a heat transfer mechanism in which a phase transition occurs from liquid to vapor. Flow boiling, on the other hand, […]
