Question
distinguish between orbit and orbital
Open in App
Solution
Orbital:
It is three dimensional area around the nucleus where probability if finding of electrons are maximum.
it represents three dimensional motion of electrons,.
shapes are not fixed can be spherical (s-orbital) dumbbell shape(p-orbital) or double dumbbell(d-orbital) or complex.
Maximum no of electrons in an orbital is 2.
Orbitals are directional in nature except s orbital.
Orbit:
It represent well defined circular path followed by electrons around nucleus.
It represents two dimensional motion of electrons.
Max. no of electrons in an orbit is 2n2
Always Circular in shape ex K,L M,N
Orbits are non directional
