Question:
What is the difference between the terms orbit and orbital?
Solution:
The orbit stands for a definite circular path for the electrons to revolve around the nucleus. It represents the two-dimensional motion of the electrons around the nucleus,
the orbital is not that well-defined path because it’s a region around the nucleus where the probability of finding an electron is maximum.
