Coordinating Conjunctions
These conjunctions can join single words, or group of words, but there always prefer to join the similar the words.
Coordinating conjunctions are: and, nor,or, so, yet, for, but.

but | sentence + sentence | The paneer was prepared on Wednesday, but chicken was prepared on Tuesday. |
Correlative conjunctions
These kind of conjunctions are used in pairs. They always join in similar kind of elements.

neither…nor | subject + subject | Neither paneer nor chicken will be prepare on Thrusday |
both…and | subject + subject | Both me and my brother are living in US. |

This kind of conjunction is a word which join together dependent and an independent clause.
Clause- containing subject and verb.
