Best Answer

These are prefixes given to heterocyclic compounds that contain nitrogen (azo-) and sulphur (thio-). Suffixes can also be given which reffer to the number of atoms that make up the heterocyclic ring these being -ine (6 membered), -ole (5 membered).

Thus a 5 membered ring containing both sulphur and nitrogen would be classed as a thiazole.

heterocycle-a ring structure which contains one or more atoms that are not carbon e.g pyridine (the most common atoms that replace the carbon are nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen)

What is major difference between thio and hydroxide relaxers?

Hydroxide relaxers are not compatble with thio relaxers, permanent waving, or soft curl permanents because they use a different chemistry. Thio relaxers use thio to breake the disulfide bonds. The high pH of a thio relaxer is needed to swell the hair but it is the thio that breaks the disulfide bonds. Hydroxide relaxers have a pH that is so high that the alkalinity alone breaks the disulfide bonds.
