okay i figured it out.. Collection----- if we wish to represent group of individual object as a single entity. ex:- Arraylist, linked list, vector, stack, queue etc. Maps---- if we want to store both value and the key (key, value pair) then we use mapping concept. ex:-hashmap,treemap etc

map works on key whereas collection works on index basically map is used when we dont want duplicate objects (as keys are unique)
