Difference between Orbit and an Orbital:
Orbit | Orbital |
As postulated by Bohr, an orbit is a definite circular path at a definite distance from the nucleus in which the electron revolve round the nucleus. Orbits are designated by the capital letters K, L, M, N…. etc. | As postulate by wave nature of an electron, an orbital is a three-dimensional region around the nucleus within which the probability of finding an electron is maximum., Orbital’s are designated by s, p, d… etc. |
Orbits are circular in shape. | Orbital’s have different shapes. |
It represents the planer motion of the electron. | It represents the three-dimensional motion of the electro round the nucleus. |
An orbit indicates an exact position of an electron in an atom. | An orbital does not specify the exact position of an electron in an atom. |
The maximum number of electro in an orbit is equal to 2n^2, where n is the number of the orbit. | An orbital cannot accommodate more than two electrons. |
