Binary tree:

Tree where each node has up to two leaves.
A binary tree is simply a tree in which each node can have at most two children.

Example:

 1
 / \
2   3

A binary search tree

It is a binary tree in which the nodes are assigned values, with the following restrictions ;

-No duplicate values. 
-The left subtree of a node can only have values less than the node 
-The right subtree of a node can only have values greater than the node 

Example:

     2
    / \
   1   3
