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. It represents the motion of an electron in one plane.

Answer:
1) An orbital is a three dimensional description of the most likely location of an electron around an atom. Below is a diagram that shows the probability of finding an electron around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. Notice that the 1s orbital has the highest probability. This is why the hydrogen atom has an electron configuration of 1s1 .
