Good luck,,
Dear Faris S. Kata,
01. LD means "Lethal Dose".
The LD50 is a single dose of a chemical that, when fed to a group of test animals or applied dermally, will kill 50% of the animals.
or
The amount of a material, given all at once, which causes the death of 50% (one half) of a group of test animals. The LD50 is one way to measure the short-term poisoning potential (acute toxicity) of a material. The LD50 is defined as the amount of chemical that when ingested, injected, or applied to the skin of a test animal.
02. LC means "lethal concentration."
LC50 is the concentration of the chemical in the air or water that will kill 50% of the test animals with a single exposure.
or
LC values usually refer to the concentration of a chemical in air but in environmental studies it can also mean the concentration of a chemical in water. For inhalation experiments, the concentration of the chemical in air that kills 50% of the test animals in a given time (usually four hours) is the LC50 value. For airborne and dissolved in water.
I hope the information will help you.
With Best Wishes,
Samir G. Pandya
I'd just add that the concentration is not necessary to be in water, but can be in different buffers such as saline for example.

The LD50 (lethal dose) is a single dose of a sample or tested compound that, when given to test animals either orally or dermally, will kill 50% of the animals.While
LC50 (lethal concentration) is the concentration of sample or tested compound in the air or water that kill 50% of the test animals with a single exposure
LD50 (Lethal Dose 50%) is a statistically derived dose at which 50% of the animals will be expected to die. For inhalation toxicity, air concentrations are used for exposure values. Thus, the LC50 (Lethal Concentration 50%) is used. In brief, LD is dose ingested, LC is dose inhaled. 50 means half the test population of experimental animal dies and usually statistically interpolated from results of toxicity exam
