Similarities between distillation and fractional distillation?

In: Chemistry, Similarities Between [Edit categories]

Answer:

Both are almost similar. Fractional distillation is almost same as the normal distillation.
It only differs in two things:-

Use of a fractionating column
It is done when a mixture of various substances has to separated into its constituents. These constituents have very low difference in their boiling points.

Otherwise, just like distillation it involves heating the mixture, then condensing its vapors and collecting it into a container.
