Solution
Orbits are the fixed paths around which electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom. It is a planar or two-dimensional circular pathway.
An orbital is an area inside an atom within which the probability to find an electron(s) is maximum. It represents the three-dimensional space around the nucleus.
