Question

2 difference Between orbit and orbitals

Answer 1

An orbit is a fixed path of an electron around the nucleus of an atom. Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom is based on the concept of orbit. An orbital is a region in three-dimensional space where the probability of finding the electron is maximum

Answer 2

Orbit is the circular path around the nucleus in which electrons revolve while orbital is the 3-D region around the nucleus where chance of finding electrons is maximum. Orbitals have a definite circular shape while orbitals may be spherical or having any other shape.
