Best Answer

Taking a 'particle' as a proton/ neutron, both of these have spin 1/2.

So do all leptons (electrons, neutrinos, etc).

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 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).


Nuclear physics is the field of physics?

Nuclear Physics is a field of physics, yes. It involves interactions between atomic nuclei. Nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, nuclear decay (though in some ways that is more particle physics).
