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 nucleus
- The shape of molecules cannot be explained by an orbit as they are non directional by nature.
- An orbit that is well defined goes against the Heisenberg principle
Orbital
- An orbital refers to the dimensional motion of an electron around the nucleus in a three dimensional motion.
- An orbital can simply be defined as the space or the region where the electron is likely to be found the most.
- The shapes of the molecules can be found out as they are directional by nature.
- An ideal orbital agrees with the theory of Heisenberg’s Principles
