Question

What is an atomic orbital and how does an atomic orbital differ from an orbit?

Answer 1

Answer:

look down

Explanation:

Whereas orbital is a region of space around the nucleus where the probability of finding an electron is maximum and represents three dimensional motion of electron around nucleus. Also orbitals have different shapes where as orbit is circular in shape. Is there a simple privacy law that actually makes sense?

hope u guys understand this and don't forget to mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

Atomic orbital:

Atomic orbitals are regions of space around the nucleus of an atom where an electron is likely to be found. Atomic orbitals allow atoms to make covalent bonds. The most commonly filled orbitals are s, p, d, and f. ... Only two electrons will be found in any orbital space as defined by the Pauli exclusion principle.

Difference between orbital and orbit:

An orbit is a fixed path around a heavy object on which a lighter object moves due to gravitational forces or electromagnetic forces while an orbital is an uncertain area around the nucleus of an atom in which the probability of finding an electron is maximum.
