while, whereas, on the other hand, although, in spite of, despite, however, etc.
Hi everyone!

I just got confused by using the conjunctions like while, whereas, on the other hand, although, in spite of, despite, however, etc.

Can anybody help me by the differences between them or introduce a reference to clarify them?

Thanks
