Bridge
It is a layer 2 device, it is a software based, generally used for connecting two different topology (Segment), in bridges data transmission in frame format.
Switch
It is a layer 2 devices ,it is an intelligent device it is hardware based, generally used for connecting single topology (Segment), it always works with flooding and Unicast in switch data transmission in frame format.
