Distinguish between isolated system and an adiabatic system

An isolated container is like a lonely little system floating in the vastness of an empty universe. It has no environment. It's not that it doesn't interact with anything outside, it's that there is nothing outside. The temperature isn't necessarily constant.
An adiabatic container has an environment (a reservoir say at a fixed temperature) but its walls are too stiff and arrogant to let any heat or particles to exchange through. So there is no exchange of heat takes place.
The internal energy remains constant in an isolated closed container because of conservation of energy. In an adiabatic system, energy can leak out through works done on the environment. Only catch is, energy exchanges are restricted to only by this means. No heat transfer is allowed.
Hope it was helpful:-)
