What is the difference between orbit and shell in chemistry? (Atomic Structure)
Answers
Answer:
Orbitals that have the same value of the principal quantum number n form a shell. Orbitals within a shell are divided into subshells that have the same value of the angular quantum number l. Chemists describe the shell and subshell in which an orbital belongs with a two-character code such as 2p or 4f.

Answer: Orbit was meant by a path followed by the electron. It is a circular path. This belongs to the structure proposed by Bohr model.
Shell/principal Quantum number is the energy level where the electrons might be found. This is according to Quantum mechanical model. Orbit was a circular path. Just the ones which we would draw in class 10. Shells are almost the same, but a spherical form of that and it has subshells s,p,d,f.
Orbits didn't have any subshells.
Hope I could make you understand
