Difference between Malleability and Ductility
“The difference between malleability and ductility is that malleability is the ability to deform easily upon the application of a compressive force, and ductility is doing the same with tensile force.
*Ductility is a mechanical property used to describe the extent to which materials can be deformed plastically without fracture.
In material science, ductility specifically refers to a material’s ability to deform under tensile stress; this is often characterized by the material’s ability to be stretched into a wire.
Malleability, a similar concept, refers to a material’s ability to deform under compressive stress; this is often characterized by the material’s ability to form a thin sheet by hammering or rolling. Ductility and malleability do not always correlate with each other; for instance, gold is both ductile and malleable, but lead is only malleable. ”

Difference between Laitance & Efflorescence
Laitance and efflorescence are really two completely different things, but they are both white, powdery substances, which can be confusing.
In short, laitance is formed when there’s too much water in the concrete mix, while efflorescence is the deposit on masonry surfaces caused by soluble salts in the units or in the mortar.
Laitance can be avoided by controlling the amount of water in the concrete mix. Efflorescence can be prevented, or at least minimized, by selecting materials free of harmful salts and by preventing water from penetrating the masonry. This may be accomplished by the use of solid and tight mortar joints, capped walls, effective flashing, and adequate weather protection of the masonry during construction.
Both laitance and efflorescence can present both cosmetic AND structural problems.

Difference between Insurance & Bond (CDS)
Both insurance and bond are important concepts in the CDS exam.
There are actually 5 major difference between these two, as explained in this website:
http://www.yutzmerkle.com/2012/05/04/5-key-differences-between-insurance-and-surety-bonds/
For me difference no. 3 is easiest to comprehend- insurance is protection against damages, while bond is a guarantee of fulfillment of obligations.
Difference between Focus, Hypocenter, and Epicenter (SS)
Focus = Hypocenter (they are synonyms):
The site of earthquake.
Epicenter:
The projection of the focus/ Hypocenter onto the earth’s surface
