What is the difference between an orbit in the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom and an orbital in the quantum mechanical model

See explanation

Explanation:

In Bohr's theory, electrons are found in specific regions in space called orbits. These orbits are also called energy levels. An electron may move from one energy level to another by absorbing or emitting energy.

In the wave mechanical model, electrons are not found in a particular region in space according to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

We rather define a certain region in space where there is a high probability of locating the electron. This region in space where there is a high probability of locating the electron is called an orbital.

Hence, in the Bohr's model of the atom,electrons can surely be found in orbits while in the wave mechanical model, the orbital is a probability function that describes a region in space where an electron may be found.

answer by yourhope:

how do models compare to real-world objects?

d. most models represent a real-world object in a simpler way.
