the difference between a container tag and an empty tag is quite simple. a conatiner tag is the one which has to be closed and an empty tag doesnt need to be closed.

for example:

CONTAINER TAG

<html> is the opening tag
</html> is the closing tag

<a href=""> is the opening tag
</a> is the closing tag

(closing is required)

EMPTY TAG

<img src="">

<br>

(no closing required)
