Due to quantum-mechanical laws, the spins of particles have to be some integer multiple of a base value. This base value is 1/2, in the selected units, which relate to the reduced Plank's constant. Using different units, it might be multiples of something else. For example, using Plank's constant (instead of the reduced constant), it would be multiples of 1/(4 x pi). Special units can also be made up for particle spin, to make the spin a multiple of 1, or in fact of any other number you choose.

What does it mean if a particle has a spin of 2?
It means it has five distinct spin states. The only particle I can think of off the top of my head with a spin of 2 is the (as yet not directly observed) graviton.
What is spin of particle in physics?
Taking a 'particle' as a proton/ neutron, both of these have spin 1/2. So do all leptons (electrons, neutrinos, etc).
What is the spin of the neutron?
A beta particle is either an electron, or an anti-electron (positron). Both have a spin of 1/2.
What is a quantam state with zero spin?
A quantum state with zero spin is a state where the angular momentum of the system is zero. This means that the system has no intrinsic angular momentum or spin. In other words, it has a spin quantum number of 0.
What is meant by spin of the atomic particles as half and one?
Spin is the measure of the angle of the particle. The angle determines whether the particle is a scalar or a vector. Spin zero indicates a positive scalar; Spin 1/2 is pi/2 angle and indicates a positive vector; spin 1 is pi degrees and indicates a negative scalar; spin 3/2 indicates a negative vector.Physics Particles are Quaternions containing a scalar and vector parts, the unit quaternion is described as:cos(Angle) + v sin(Angle).Quantities in Physics are in general Quaternion, e.g. Gravitatioanl Energy W=-mu/r + cP.Bosons and Fermions represent pure scalars and Vectors with angle being multiples of pi or spin. spin is symbolic of 180 degrees spin zero is zero degrees. spin 1/2 is 90 degrees etc. When angles are not multiples of pi/2 the quantity is a Quaternion and contains a scalar (Boson) and Vector (Fermion).

What particle spin outside of the nucleus?
Electrons

Which quantum number not include in defining orbit of a particle?
Spin.
What are the characteristics of each fundamenrtal particle?
mass spin and charge
What has the author Peter A Carruthers written?
Peter A. Carruthers has written: 'Spin and isospin in particle physics' -- subject(s): Isobaric spin, Nuclear spin
What is the spin of the neutron?
A beta particle is either an electron, or an anti-electron (positron). Both have a spin of 1/2.
What are fermion?
In particle physics, fermions are particles with a half-integer spin, such as protons and electrons.
When did Spin-Off - game show - end?
Spin-Off - game show - ended on 1975-09-05.
When was The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase created?
The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase was created on 1997-05-11.
What is a quantum number in the classification of elementary particles?
it is isospin - In physics, and specifically, particle physics, isospin (isotopic spin, isobaric spin) is a quantum number
What is the quantum mechanical interpretation of spin?
Not to be confused with spin angular momentum, the spin of a charged particle is associated with a magnetic dipole moment. All fermions (elementary particles) have spin 1/2. And spin comes as n/2 where n is an integer greater than or equal to 0.
