Answer 2

Span is an inline element which works to group other elements to style it in css. Padding is to specify the height width inside any content.

Answer 3

firstly, span is not related with padding, span is a html tag while padding is a CSS property,

<span> tag doesn't work how it sounds.

span tag is similar to <p> tag, but the difference there is that <p> tag is a block element while <span> tag is an inline element.

while padding is similar to margin but the difference there is that, margin adds space outside the box while padding adds space inside the box.

I hope this helps.
