And what please? Are you asking about dinner spoon vs a desert spoon?
A dessert spoon would be the largest and placed at the top of your plate with the bowl end of the spoon facing to the left and the dessert fork placed above it facing to the right.

If you let me know how many courses and what type of servings you will be offering and whether it's a luncheon or dinner, I'd be pleased to provide you with a complete diagram of a table setting for formal environments, based on British style.
If you prefer resolutely american style I can offer you a Tiffany & Co outline. Or if less ambitious there's always the Arkansas setting which consists of a low trough and a shovel!
Obviously, as desert spoons are used for eating and serving spoons are used for serving food.
There's not much difference. It depends on the preference of the person eating the soup whether they use a spoon or drink it from a mug.
The spoon will absorb heat from the hot soup through conduction, causing it to become warmer. This transfer of heat occurs because there is a temperature difference between the hot soup and the spoon, leading to thermal energy flowing from the soup to the spoon until they reach thermal equilibrium.

A cold spoon will extract heat from the soup, a spoon that is warmer than the soup will transfer heat to it.
The heat transfer that occurs when a spoon in a cup of soup gets hot to the touch is conduction. Heat is transferred from the hot soup to the cooler spoon through direct contact between the two objects.
Soup is a starter
Put the soup bowl on a plate and then put the spoon on top of the right side of the plate. That's simple.
To eat soup, dip the spoon into the soup, then remove it by going away from your body, not toward it. Sip the soup off the side of the spoon, instead of placing the whole spoon in your mouth.
