The deliquescent substances becomes soluble after absorbing water from the surroundings i.e., a solution is produced. For e.g, calcium chloride. A hygroscopic substance only absorbs water.For e.g, sulphuric acid.

What is the difference between Hygroscopic and hydrophilic component?
"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_hydroscopic_and_hygroscopic" That's easy. Hydroscopic is not a word. The true term is "hygroscopic" and it refers to a material or solution that readily uptakes moisture from the atmosphere. FYI...a hydroscope is a sort of microscope used to look into deep water. I guess "hydroscopic" could be used to refer to the way in which an image was obtained via the hydroscope. So it probably really is a word.
