An adverbial clause is a dependent clause, a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence. An adverbial clause functions as an adverb; the entire clause modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
Example: Call me when you're ready.

  • The adverb 'when' introduces the adverbial clause 'when you're ready' which modifies the verb 'call'.

A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence. A relative clause gives information about its antecedent (most often the subject of the sentence).

Example: The teacher who assigned the work should answer your question.

The relative pronoun 'who' introduces the relative clause 'who assigned the work' which relates information about its antecedent 'teacher'.

Is the word when a relative pronoun?

It is a relative adverb when it is the object of the verb of the main clause, e.g. I don't know when they will arrive. When it connects two full clauses, it is a conjunction, e.g. He opened the door when she knocked. Some might not like the idea of an adverb being an object. In the above example: "... know when...," "know" is transitive, and the only possible oblect is "when." The only plausible solution for those who can't accept an adverb as an object is to decide that, in this instance, it is a pronoun. On the other hand: "In the days when I was young..." "When" replaces the noun "days." It acts as a pronoun. I have changed my mind. Yes, "when" can be a relative pronoun.
