If you could clarify I'd be happy to help. Basically with pop and Rock Music you'll have a verse which is usually when the singer first begins, that could lead into a chorus (or hook, or payoff) which is the main part of the song and has a bit more intensity than the verse, and if written well, the most satisfying part of of a song. (hence the term "payoff"). Sometimes between a verse and chorus is a pre-chorus, most of the time it well differentiate in dynamic (volume/speed/intensity) from the verse. Either less intense to bring out the chorus's intensity more or more intense than a verse to provide a smooth flow into a chorus. Then you can have a bridge (or climax), the most dynamically intense part of the song. It usually only occurs once in a song. Not to be confused with a breakdown which is a type of bridge where the tempo (speed) changes significantly, usually slows or drops to half, but sometimes doubles and gets very very intense often involving screaming and harsh dissonance (sounds that clash and are difficult to perceive clarity and/or intonation, sometimes described as "out-of-tune sounding"). The term climax is also not to be confused with just the bridge. Climax refers to the most dramatic part of the song and since this is usually the bridge it sometimes replaces the term entirely but a climax most certainly can appear in a chorus or verse or even intro. Another type of bridge is an interlude. This can and usually does appear more than once. Commonly before the bridge. It's very much like a "pre-bridge" if you will, and is strictly instrumental. More often than not the least intense part of a song which is why it makes for a good part before a bridge. It helps emphasizes the dynamics between the two parts as well as gives the singer a break just before the bridge. Interludes might also be an intro part that reoccurs in a song. Intros are usually instrumental too, they are usually rather intense, more so than a verse typically. Not to be confused with the outro (or coda for a more "proper music term"). Outros often fade out or will end the song abruptly or raise intensity for just a second before bringing it all the way down to zero (Silence). Often an outro will have a retardando (slowing) of the music to provide an easy release of the song to it's final chord. That's pop and rock music anyways, Classical Music is even more complicated. With a plethora of different sections and forms. Entire books have been written on sonata form and theme & variations. Of corse with any music there are exceptions. Like I said many time already... usually... These are good guidelines for a standard "commercial hit" pop/rock song. If you clarify what you mean I'd be happy to help more.

What structure is ab in music?

A piece of music will often include repeats or be otherwise divided into sections, for example ABCBB, could represent A=Verse, B=Chorus, C= a different verse. B B repeat chorus twice. AB would therefore represent a piece of music with two sections, that are essentially different. A medley might have an ABCDE structure, so AB structure would be a very short medly of just two parts.
