  Spin quantum number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In atomic physics, the spin quantum number is a quantum number that parametrizes the intrinsic angular momentum (or spin angular momentum, or simply spin) of a given particle.
The spin quantum number is the fourth of a set of quantum numbers which describe the unique quantum state of an electron and is designated by the letter s.
The spin property of an electron would classically give rise to magnetic moment which was a requisite for the fourth quantum number.

The spin of composite particles, such as protons, neutrons, atomic nuclei, and atoms, is made up of the spins of the constituent particles, plus the orbital angular momentum of their motions around one another.
This is understood to refer to the spin of the lowest-energy internal state of the composite particle (i.e., a given spin and orbital configuration of the constituents).
It is not always easy to deduce the spin of a composite particle from first principles; for example, even though we know that the proton is a spin-1/2 particle, the question of how this spin is distributed among the three internal quarks and the surrounding gluons is an active area of research.

 Quantum number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, this quantum number is very important, since it specifies the shape of an atomic orbital and strongly influences chemical bonds and bond angles.
However, it should be understood that the elementary particles are quantum states of the standard model of particle physics, and hence the quantum numbers of these particles bear the same relation to the Hamiltonian of this model as the quantum numbers of the Bohr atom does to its Hamiltonian.
Typical quantum numbers related to spacetime symmetries are spin (related to rotational symmetry), the parity, C-parity and T-parity (related to the Poincare symmetry of spacetime).

 Atom
The number of protons in an atom (called the atomic number) determines the element of the atom.
These configurations are determined by the quantum mechanics of electrons in the electric potential of the atom; the principal quantum number determines particular electron shells with distinct energy levels.
Therefore, elements with the same number of valence electrons are grouped together in the columns of the periodic table of the elements.

While the azimuthal dependence of the wavefunction only requires the quantum number to be an integer, the coupling to the colatitude equation further constrains that integer to be less than or equal to the orbital quantum number.
It is called the magnetic quantum number because the application of an external magnetic field causes a splitting of spectral lines called the Zeeman effect.
