Question

What is spin quantum number in terms of chemistry refers?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Spin quantum number refer to the electrons filled in the orbitals.

Answer 2

Answer:it defines the spin state of an electron.

Explanation: There are 4 quantum numbers that are used to define an electron's position or quantum state. These are the fundamental quantum number, represented by 'n' ; the azimuthal quantum number, 'l' ;the magnetic quantum number, 'm' and the spin quantum number, 's'. The set of these four quantum numbers successfully defines the quantum state of an electron in an atom and are unique for each one.

The 'n' values are integers ranging from 0 to infinity as they are the shell numbers. The 'l' has value ranging from zero to n-1. The 'm' has values from -l to +l. And lastly, 's' has value of either +1/2 or-1/2.
