In
atomicphysics, the spin quantum number is a
quantumnumber that
parameterizes the intrinsic
angularmomentum (or spin angular momentum, or simply
spin) of a given
particle. The spin quantum number is the fourth of a set of
quantumnumbers (the
principal quantum number, the
azimuthal quantum number, the
magnetic quantum number, and the spin quantum number), which describe the unique
quantum state of an electron and is designated by the letter
s. It explains energy, shape and orientation of orbitals.
