Question

Write down any two differences between orbit and orbital.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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. An orbital can simply be defined as the space or the region where the electron is likely to be found the most.

Answer 2

Answer:

orbit— it represents the planar motion of an electron around nucleus

2) all orbits are circular and disc like structure

orbital — An orbital has three dimensional space around nucleus

2) different orbitals have different shapes
