Q

what about the breakdown voltage of the zener diode

A 
a reverse-biased Zener diode exhibits a 
controlled breakdown and allows 
the current to keep 
the voltage 
close to the 
Zener breakdown voltage.

Q 
what happens if 
conventional diode is 
reverse-biased 
above its 
reverse breakdown voltage.
A 
reverse bias breakdown voltage is 
exceeded, 
conventional diode is subject to 
high current due to 
avalanche breakdown.
