Differences between lyophilic and lyophobic sols
A colloid is a heterogenous mixture in which particle size ranges between 1 and 100 nm. The colloidal state consists of two phases: a dispersed phase and a dispersion phase. … Read more

Differences between nuclear reaction and chemical reaction
Nuclear reaction Nuclear reactions are the process in which two atomic nuclei or one atomic nucleus and a subatomic particle (such as a proton or neutron or high energy electron) … Read more
Oxidation reactions
Oxidation reactions are those in which atoms, molecules, or ions lose electrons, increasing the oxidation state. Baeyer-Villiger oxidation It involves the oxidation of aliphatic ketones to esters or their hydrolyzed products … Read more
Biosynthesis of purine nucleotide
Purines are heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing two fused rings. They are the most common nitrogen-containing heterocycles in nature. Purine is also present in significant amounts in red meat, beef, pig, … Read more
Purification, Properties, and Applications of colloids
When colloidal solutions are prepared, they typically contain an excessive number of electrolytes, as well as some other soluble impurities. Despite the presence of traces of electrolytes required for colloidal … Read more
Colloids: Preparation, Types and Properties
Colloids are substances with particle sizes between 1 and 1000 nm. Colloidal solutions or colloidal dispersions are a type of solution that exists between true solutions and suspensions. In another way, … Read more
Wolff-Kishner Reduction: Definition, Mechanism, Synthetic Applications, Limitations
Wolff-Kishner reduction was discovered by Nicolai Kishner in 1911 and Ludwig Wolf in 1912. It involves heating carbonyl compounds with hydrazine and base to convert them to hydrocarbons. In this … Read more
Shielding effect: Definition and Periodic variation with examples
Shielding effect refers to the decrease in attractive force on the valence shell electron caused by the presence of electrons in an inner shell. The electrons in the valence shell … Read more
Difference Between Adsorption and Absorption
Adsorption Adsorption is a surface phenomenon that involves the accumulation of molecular species on the surface rather than within the bulk of a solid or liquid. Adsorbate is the substance … Read more
