Question

write difference between orbit and orbital

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate here is ur answer

Explanation:

An orbit on the other hand is simply present in a body with a certain mass, while an orbital exists for an electron as well as an atom. An orbit is the simple planar representation of an electron. An orbital refers to the dimensional motion of an electron around the nucleus in a three dimensional motion.

orbit

In our solar system, the paths on which the planets revolve are called orbits. These are strange elliptical paths which are fixed for every single planet, and these planets move on this path with their angular velocities and central acceleration. The same is the case with atoms. Orbits are the fixed paths around which electrons revolve around the nucleus of the atom following the same principle as that of the planets.

orbital

orbital is an uncertain area inside an atom within which the probability to find an electron(s) is highest. It represents the three-dimensional space around the nucleus. Orbitals occur in various shapes and capacities in accordance with the element and its atomic number. They are categorized as s, p, d and f type orbital. The maximum capacities of these orbital are:

s orbital – 2 electrons

p orbital – 6 electrons

d orbital – 10 electrons

f orbital – 16 electrons
