1.An orbit is a well defined circular path around the nucleus in which the electrons revolve.
An orbital is the three dimensional space around the nucleus within which the probability of finding an electron is maximum(90-95%).
2.Orbit represents the planar motion of an electron around the nucleus.
Orbital represents the three dimensional motion of an electron around the nucleus.
3. The concept of an orbit is not in accordance with the wave character of electrons and uncertainty principle.
