Differences between lyophilic and lyophobic sols

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. Dispersed phase: The substance is distributed as colloidal particles. Dispersed … Read more

Oxidation reactions

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 using hydrogen peroxide or organic peracids as oxidizing agents. Baeyer … Read more

Biosynthesis of purine nucleotide

Biosynthesis of purine nucleotides

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, dry peas, beans, lentils, and oats. The purine ring is … Read more

Colloids: Preparation, Types and Properties

Colloids

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, the diameter of the dispersed particles in a colloidal dispersion … Read more

Difference Between Adsorption and Absorption

Differences 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 that accumulates on the surface of another substance. For instance, … Read more
