difference between and tag

what is the difference between and tag?

To make standards compliant HTML, every tag that is opened should be closed. Since the br tag does not have any data between its opening and closing tags then the closure should be indicated at the end of the tag as shown above.

Any other points?

the difference is one exists and one doesnt.
there is no tag you might be confusing it with which is xhtml

Syntax difference between xhtml and html. Phreaddee is right though.

 for html
 for xhtml

html 5 allows the use of either.
