Total orbital angular momentum and total spin angular momentum
The total spin momentum has magnitude Square root of√S(S + 1) (ℏ), in which S is an integer or half an odd integer, depending on whether the number of electrons is even or odd. The possible value of the total spin angular momentum can be found from all…
