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 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 is non zero nuclear spin?
It means that the spin has a value that is different from zero, such as 1/2, 1, 3/2, -1/2, etc. (spin is always a multiple of 1/2).It means that the spin has a value that is different from zero, such as 1/2, 1, 3/2, -1/2, etc. (spin is always a multiple of 1/2).It means that the spin has a value that is different from zero, such as 1/2, 1, 3/2, -1/2, etc. (spin is always a multiple of 1/2).It means that the spin has a value that is different from zero, such as 1/2, 1, 3/2, -1/2, etc. (spin is always a multiple of 1/2).
What is the formula of mean particle size?
Mean particle size=0.94*Lambda/(FWHM*cos(theta)

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.
What particle spin outside of the nucleus?
Electrons
What is antiparticle matter?
An antiparticle is a subatomic particle corresponding to another particle with the same mass, spin and mean lifetime, but with charge, parity, strangeness and other quantum numbers flipped in sign.
What properties very among a subatomic particle?
Mass, electrical charge, spin, dimensions, reactions, mean life time etc.
What are the properites of a subatomic particle?
Examples: mass, electrical charge, dimensions, mean life time, reactions, location, spin etc.
Does the Pauli equation predict spin for a free particle ie not in a field?
Fundamental particles such as the electron or the photon have an intrinsic spin, and this spin can't change - for example, an electron always has a spin of 1/2. I don't think the Pauli equation would change that.
How is the spin of an elementary particle measured?
Spin is either up or down and in positive half integer multiples of an angular momentum quantum constant: h/(2∏), where h is Planck's constant.
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?
