Talk:Liesegang rings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From the article, it does not become clear whether the Liesegang rings are in fact really rings or just layers. If a layer is formed in a test tube, it looks like a ring. If a similar experiment is performed in a wide container or cup, would you really see rings or just thin layers?
That seems like an important difference to me. Johan Lont 11:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- You get rings in a wide container. Think of it as a periodic function on the distance to the introduced reactant. It's not always rings,however, in some experiments spirals or, in the case of test-tubes, helixes have formed. --Gmaxwell 21:07, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
