hi here is ur answer friend...
A zener diode allows current to flow in one direction but it will also allow current to flow in the other direction if the reverse voltage reaches a specific level. The main difference betweena normal p-n junction diode and azener diode is the level of doping.

1- A Zener diode is a semiconductor device which conducts in forward biased as well as reversed biased. A commn diode if operated in reversed biased will get destroyed and its unidirectional.
2- The normal PN junction diode is moderately doped while the Zener diode is doped properly in such a way that it possesses sharp breakdown voltage.
3- The Zener diode is generally used as a voltage regulator while the conventional diodes are used in the rectifier, clipper, clamper etc.
