The Raspberry Pi and Arduino both contain ''microprocessors'', the actual ''Central Processing Unit'' (CPU) integrated circuit chips that perform the execution of software code. The Raspberry Pi is a ''microcomputer'', whereas the [Arduino] is a ''microcontroller'' (%%(font-size:small) AKA%% ''Microcontroller Unit'' or MCU). The Raspberry Pi microcomputer has a full Linux-like operating system (OS); the Arduino generally runs a single program.
The distinctions between microprocessors and microcontrollers can get a bit blurry, since in practice they can often perform similar tasks. But you can think of a Raspberry Pi as almost the same as a desktop computer, without the peripherals. Indeed, [some people|https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/issues/85] have outfitted their Pis with keyboards, mice, large screen monitors, and use them for everyday computing tasks.
