ORBIT
ORBITAL
It is well-defined circular path followed by electron around nucleus. It is a region of space around the nucleus where the probability of finding an electron is maximum.
It represents two dimensional motion of electron around nucleus. It represents three dimensional motion of electron around nucleus.
The maximum no. of electrons in an orbit is 2n2. The maximum no. of electrons in an orbital is 2.
Orbit is circular in shape. Orbitals have different shapes.

Where the probability of finding an elctron is maximum is known as orbital. Orbits are the different shells in an electron like k,L,M,and so.
