Experiment result vs experimental result

Is there a difference between "experiment result" and "experimental result"? The latter seems to be more popular according to Google search, but is it better than the other?
  

Top answer

I'm inclined to take "experiment result" as the result of a particular experiment. "Experimental result" would imply to me that a particular result was experimental in nature. That is, it was not a "final result," or was not based on the way the operation would ultimately be carried out.

Hi,

I suppose it depends on the context, but I'd tend towards 'a/the result of an/the experiment'.

Hi,
Do you have any comment on the difference between this and "an experimental result"?

Hi,

As I said, I think much depends on the context.

. . . result of the experiment . . .Sounds to me like the work is finished..

. . . experimental result . . . Sounds to me like the work may not be finished.
