between is used to refer two persons, places, timings which are cleared separated whereas among is used for a group. We use among to talk about things which are not clearly separated because they are part of a group or crowd or mass of objects
Comments

Hi Akhileshwar, We use between when two things are separate. We use among when things are not clearly separated, and are a part of a crowd, group etc. e.g. Between - There was a scooter between the car and the bus. Among - We found some bookmarks among his books.

Many people believe “between” should be used for choices involving two items and “among” for choices that involve more than two items. That can get you to the right answer some of the time, but it's not that simple (1, 2, 3, 4)
