Arduino boards are microcontroller motherboards while the Raspberry Pi is a full-fledged computer with an Operating system, processor and HDMI output. The Arduino's functions are only a subset of that of the Pi. Arduino is good for small repetitive electronic projects, while the Pi comes in place for advanced and more complex projects. Arduino is best for beginners, and is programmed in C/C++. The Raspberry Pi is programmed with Python, and can perform the functions of Arduino but in an advanced way. So if all you want to make is a sensing device that produces certain responses based on input, go for Arduino. If you want to build robots, go for the Pi. Hope this helps?

It depends on what you want to do with it. Arduino boards are weaker in specifications, but are also cheaper than Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is basically a smartphone, if you consider the specifications, only without a screen. Both can do the same thing, only Raspberry Pi can do more at once In short, if you want a smaller project that has little to no GUI, definitely use Arduino. If you want to make a more demanding program, app, or anything that would be optimized for the power of smartphones, use Raspberry Pi.
