Linked lists use dynamic memory allocation (also called "heap memory allocation", as the linked list is stored in heap memory).
ok
A simple linked-list is an approach is to store the freelist of memory blocks, where each node of the linked list contains a pointer to a single free block in the memory pool.
Sequential allocation refers specifically to arrays. An array is, by definition, a contiguous block of memory. The index of the array is used as an offset from the memory address of the beginning of the array - this is why access to any element in an array takes a constant amount of time to compute. "Linked allocation" is best described by linked lists. These data structures are connected by a series of nodes. A node contains at least two pieces of information: some piece of data and a reference (link) to the next node in the chain. Since changing the position of a node in a linked list only requires changing references to other nodes, insertion and deletion is trivial. Note that these "referential" linked data structures are not the only way to link data, just the easiest to understand and implement.
Storage pool is collection of free linked list in the memory.
Linked list is a dynamic data structure that contains a "link" to the structure containing the next item. It is a collection of structures ordered not by their physical placement in memory (like array) but by logical links that are stored as part of the data in the structure itself.Advantages of Linked Lists- Dynamic structure (Mem. Allocated at run-time).- We can have more than one datatype.- Re-arrange of linked list is easy (Insertion-Deletion).- It doesn't waste memory.Disadvantages of Linked Lists- In linked list, if we want to access any node it is difficult.- It is occupying more memory.
A linked list implemented with an array defeats the purpose of using a linked list, which is to address the memory allocation problems associated with arrays.

A linked list cannot be 'full'. You might run out of memory, though.
linked list are used for creation of stack,queues to use memory in optimum manner linked list are used as they are dynamic in nature
The input, output and memory allocation schemes are examples of the early system computer 1940-1960.

Dyanmic memory allocation ... we can easily manipulate the data
In memory it is always required to use memory space properly.In linked list representation it is easier & searching for data is also quicker than linear array.
yes
Because the C programming language leaves the responsibility for memory allocation and pointers entirely with the programmer, the disadvantage of linked lists over some other linear data structures (such as arrays) is that the bear a risk or memory leaks and invalid pointers. The fact that the size of a linked list is generally not deterministic is also commonly viewed a disadvantage over statically linked linear containers (e.g. arrays) in some systems, primarily in embedded systems. Compared to containers of higher order (such as trees or hash tables), search operations in a linked list are generally slower. Compared to a double linked list, removal and insertion of items (except head and tail) is generally more expensive.
