Answer:

Orbit is a well-defined circular path around the nucleus in which electrons revolve around the nucleus. 3-dimensional space around the nucleus where is probability of finding an electron is maximum is called an orbital. ... Orbits are non-directional in nature.

Definition of Orbit

An orbit in chemistry is a definite path whose shape is regular, on which revolution of electrons takes place. Furthermore, this revolution of electrons takes place due to the pull of electrons towards the nucleus. Moreover, the first shell of an atom shall have only two atoms in accordance with the Bohr ‘s model.

Definition of Orbitals

An orbital refers to an uncertain area that has the maximum probability of locating an electron. Furthermore, there is a three-dimensional space surrounding the nucleus, which actually is the representative of the orbital. Also, it is also possible for the orbital to have different kinds of shape.
