Distinguish between orbit & orbatial?

Question

details with defination or more deteal information

Answer 1

The initial model of an atom stated that electrons move in different energy shells i.e orbits.But these models failed to explain where electrons are found inside the orbit.Hence another concept was introduced which stated that an orbit consists of different orbitals.Orbitals are nothing but regions in an orbit where the chances of finding electrons is maximum.Orbitals are hypothetical

Answer 2

according to bohr model of atom orbit is the definate circular 2-D path of revolving electron. according to the wave mechanics model of atom electron has daul nature i.e. electrone has particle nature as well as wave nature. so we cannot specify the position of an electron around nucleus, we can only express the probability of position of an electrone in a definate 3-D area.where the probability is maximum i.e. 95% called orbital.

Answer 3

orbit is a particular shell where the electron revolves,while orbital is the space around the nucleus where the probablity of finding electron is maximum.orbitals are spherical but orbit can be dumbell,double dumbell,spherical in shape

Answer 4

1.Orbit is circular in shape. Orbital has three dimensional shapes.
2.Orbit can have only 2n square electrons where n represents order of orbit. orbitals have only 2 electrons.

Answer 5

Orbits are the main energy levels explained by principal quantum number (n). Orbitals are the subenergy levels or subshells which can be explained by Azimuthal quantum number (l).

Answer 6

Orbit is noun and orbital is adjective

Answer 7

as above
