keywords are words which convey special meaning to the language compiler ...they are reserved for special purposes &cannot be used as identifier wait... also .. u cannot use reserved words as identifier ,.... all keywords are reserved words but all reserved words are not keyword example :::goto is a reserved word in java but not a keyword

The main difference is just that, Reserve words are those special words that are reserved by company for future development or enhancement
