Answer

To be honest, there is no real difference in meaning, when we are using the word to identify one precise or exact thing.

However, the word 'particular,' can also be used to describe a person... "A particular person," is a person that insists that everything is done in a certain, particular (or specific) way.

So you would use this by (for example) saying "He is a very particular person."

Note, you cannot use the word specific in the context of the sentence immediately above.
