Answer:
Orbit
An orbit is the simple planar representation of an electron.It can be simply defined as the path that gets established in a circular motion by revolving the electron around the nucleusThe shape of molecules cannot be explained by an orbit as they are non-directional by nature.

. An orbital refers to the dimensional motion of an electron around the nucleus in a three-dimensional motion.
The shapes of the molecules can be found out as they are directional by nature.
