Question

Difference between orbit and orbital.​

Answer 1

Heya!!❤

Orbit•

→ It is a well defined path around the nucleus in which electrons are revolving.

→ It represents two dimensional motion of electron.

→ It doesn't follow wave character and Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

→ All orbits are circular.

→ Number of electrons present depends upon shell number.

Orbital•

→ It is the 3-D space around nucleus in which probability of finding electrons is 90%.

→ Represent 3-D motion of electron.

→ It follows both the principle.

→ Different orbitals have different shape.

→ An orbital can have maximum 2 electrons.

Answer 2

$\bold{Answer}$

$\bold {Orbit}$

1) Well defined circular path around the nucleus in which the electrons revolve .

2) Represents planer motion of electrons.

3) All orbitals are circular and disc like.

4) Do not have any directional characteristics.

$\bold {orbitals}$

1) 3D space around the nucleus within which probability of finding an electron is much.

2) Represents 3D motion of electrons.

3) Has different shapes.

4) Except s- orbital all have directional characteristics.
