Orbit and orbitals.........................


orbit:
1. well-defined circular path followed electron around nucleus.
2. represents 2 dimensional motion of electron around nucleus.
3. maximum no. of electrons in orbit 2n2.
4. orbit circular in shape.
orbital:
1.it region of space around nucleus probability of finding electron maximum.
2. represents 3 dimensional motion of electron around nucleus.
3. maximum no. of electrons in orbital 2.
4. orbitals have different shapes.


atomic orbitals differ in shape. is, electrons describe have different probability distributions around nucleus.
s orbitals spherically symmetrical. is, electron occupies s orbital can found same probability @ orientation (at given distance) nucleus. these orbitals therefore represented spherical boundary surface , surface captures high proportion of electron density. electron more found somewhere inside spherical boundary surface outside.
p orbitals double-lobed, region of high electron density on each side of nucleus. boundary surface of p orbital therefore consists of 2 lobes projecting nucleus. 3 p orbitals of given shell designated px, py, or pz according alignment of lobes along 1 of 3 mutually perpendicular axes.

what difference between orbit , orbitals? , why shape of s orbita different p orbital?
