Question

difference between orbits and orbitals???

Answer 1

Orbit is basically 2d and orbital is 3d.
Orbit is the concept of Bohr's atomic theory while orbital is the concept of the quntum theory.
In an atom only orbital exists because as per heisenberg's uncertainity principle it is impossible to define the exact trajectory
of electron and hence orbit cannot exist.

Answer 2

Planets around the sun move in orbits,
electrons have probability distributions that are orbitals around nuclei ,

Answer 3

Orbit is basically 2d and orbital is 3d.
Orbit is the concept of Bohr's atomic theory while orbital is the concept of the quntum theory.
In an atom only orbital exists because as per heisenberg's uncertainity principle it is impossible to define the exact trajectory
of electron and hence orbit cannot exist.
Orbital is basically the region where the probability of finding electron is max.. ie. =>90%.
