Briefly, two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is 0. Two vectors are orthonormal if their dot product is 0 and their lengths are both 1. This is very easy to understand but only if you remember/know what the dot product of two vectors is, and what the length of a vector is.

What is the difference between orthogonality and orthonormality?
In the same way, vectors are known as orthogonal if they have a dot product (or, more generally, an inner product) of 0 and orthonormal if they have a norm of 1.
What is the concept of orthogonality?
In Euclidean geometry, orthogonal objects are related by their perpendicularity to one another. Lines or line segments that are perpendicular at their point of intersection are said be related orthogonally. Similarly, two vectors are considered orthogonal if they form a 90-degree angle.
What is orthogonal and orthonormal basis?
In mathematics, particularly linear algebra, an orthogonal basis for an inner product space is a basis for. whose vectors are mutually orthogonal. If the vectors of an orthogonal basis are normalized, the resulting basis is an orthonormal basis.
Does Orthonormality imply orthogonality?
Orthogonal means means that two things are 90 degrees from each other. Orthonormal means they are orthogonal and they have “Unit Length” or length 1.
