Motherboard is a main board on witch all the computer hardware and processing units work.

Processor is a main processing chip witch processes all the data and information. It is located on motherboard. In simple terms the motherboard is the body and the processor or CPU is the head/brain, in terms of size the motherboard is usually about 9" square with lots of components on which are wired, the CPU is around 3cm square with lots of pins that locate in the motherboard,sorry to over simplify but if you did not know the difference i assume you have never seen these separated

What is difference between pinned processors ans pinless processors?

Older processors had lines of pins around the edge of the chip - about 5mm long. These slotted into a corresponding socket to provide the connections to the motherboard. Pin-less processors have tiny metal balls (like miniature ball-bearings) instead of the pins. These newer connectors simply rest on top of their corresponding pads on the motherboard, and are held in place by a spring-loaded clip.
