| An array is a collection of data elements of the same type. | A linked list is a collection of entities known as nodes. The node is divided into two sections: data and address. |
| It keeps the data elements in a single memory. | It stores elements at random, or anywhere in the memory. |
| The memory size of an array is fixed and cannot be changed during runtime. | The memory size of a linked list is allocated during runtime. |
| An array's elements are not dependent on one another. | Linked List elements are dependent on one another. |
| It is easier and faster to access an element in an array. | In the linked list, it takes time to access an element. |
| Memory utilization is ineffective in the case of an array. | Memory utilization is effective in the case of an array. |
| Operations like insertion and deletion take longer time in an array. | Operations like insertion and deletion are faster in the linked list. |
