Orbit is a well-defined circular path around the nucleus in which electrons revolve around the nucleus. It is also called a shell. It is denoted by the principal quantum number ‘n’….Difference between Orbits and Orbitals.
Q. Why do we replace orbits with orbitals?
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle replaced the concept of orbit by orbital because both position and momentum can be calculated in the orbit of electron, which is impossible. The new changed model of atom was called wave mechanical model of atom.

Q. What do orbits and orbitals have in common?
Answer: The common thing that orbits and orbitals have is that, an object/particle revolve around an object/nucleus that is in the centre. Explanation: In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

Q. What contains 2 or more atoms?
A molecule consists of two or more atoms of the same element, or different elements, that are chemically bound together.
Q. How does an atom become stable?
Some atoms become more stable by gaining or losing an entire electron (or several electrons). When they do so, atoms form ions, or charged particles. Electron gain or loss can give an atom a filled outermost electron shell and make it energetically more stable.
Q. Which is more stable ch3+ or H+?
Originally Answered: Why is the H+ ion more stable than the H- ion? Hydrogen is a electropositive element. Positive charge on electropositive element is more stable than a negative charge because of their tendency to lose electrons.
Q. Which is more stable H+ or Li+?
Answer. H is more stable because H+ has charge..and its is replaceable…
