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 was Wolfgang Pauli's theory?

The Pauli exclusion principle is the quantum mechanical principle that says that 2 identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.


What is spin quantum number?

Good question! Experiments show that the electron "behaves" as if it is a spinning ball of charge. But be careful...the electron IS NOT a spinning ball of charge. Instead the concept is quantum mechanical and has no actual classical analogy. why we r taking the spin of the electorn is +1/2 or -1/2 is there any relation bet rotational symmetry

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.
