What’s the difference between a dryer 220 3-prong power cord and a range 220 3-prong power cord?

I recently went to the hardware store where they only had the dryer 3-prong power cord available. I picked that one up just to see if it would work with the new range we are having delivered today. Is there a difference between the two? Would it be safe to use? If there is a difference, what are they?

a range cord is rated for 50 amps and has a flat blade on the neutral(middle) prong, it is heavier has better wire and built to carry huge amounts of current when the oven is in use. A dryer cord is only rated for 30 amps. It has less copper wire than a range cord and it has an L shaped neutral (middle) prong.You CANNOT use a 30 amp cord on a 50 amp rated appliance. That is the reason for the curved neutral prong, a measure used to deter just such a thing from being used by the consumer.
