What is the relation between Topotactic reaction and epitactic reactions? Correct Answer Topotactic reactions are more specific than epitactic reactions

Topotactic and epitactic reactions are the orientated reactions or transformation when nucleation makes use of structural similarity. Topotactic reactions are more specific than epitactic reaction because they require not only the structural similarity at the interface but also that this similarity should continue into the bulk of both crystalline phases.
