Answer 1

Answer:

${\large{\bold{\purple{\underline{\longmapsto\: Orbit\: :-}}}}}$

$\diamondsuit$ It is a path on which a revolution of electrons take place around an atoms nucleus.

$\diamondsuit$ Orbit is circular or elliptical in shape.

$\diamondsuit$ Orbit don't have any directional characteristics.

$\diamondsuit$ The maximum number of electrons in an orbit is 2n2.

$\diamondsuit$ Example : Movement of planets around stars, satellite around planets etc.

$\rule{150}{2}$

${\large{\bold{\purple{\underline{\longmapsto\: Orbital\: :-}}}}}$

$\diamondsuit$ It is a three dimensional space where the possibility of locating an electron.

$\diamondsuit$ Orbital can be spherical in shape.

$\diamondsuit$ All orbitals except s-orbital have directional characteristics.

$\diamondsuit$ The maximum number of electrons in an orbital is two.

$\diamondsuit$ Example : Movement of electrons around atomic nucleus.

Answer 2

Orbit

1. An orbit is a well defined circular path around the nucleus in which the electrons revolve .
2. It represents the planar motion of an electron around the nucleus.

Orbital

1. An orbital is three-dimensional space around the nucleus within which the probability of finding an electron is maximum (upto 90%)
2. It represents the three dimensional motion of an electron around the nucleus.
