	Total angular momentum quantum number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In atomic physics, the total angular quantum momentum numbers parameterize the total angular momentum of a given electron, by combining its orbital angular momentum and its intrinsic angular momentum (i.e., its spin).
		The associated quantum number is the main total angular momentum quantum number j.
		is the secondary total angular momentum quantum number.

	Molecular Orbitals - Angular Momentum in Diatomic Molecules
		Thus the magnitude of the total electronic angular momentum in a diatomic molecule, unlike the atomic case, is not quantized.
		It is analogous to the quantum number m in the atomic case.
		In the atomic case it is possible to determine the magnitude of the total angular momentum, as given by the quantum number l, and the magnitude of one of its components, as given by the quantum number m.

		Although the resulting energy eigenfunctions (the "orbitals") are not necessarily isotropic themselves, their dependence on the angular coordinates follows completely generally from this isotropy of the underlying potential: The states are not only eigenstates of the Hamiltonian, but also eigenstates of the angular momentum operator.
		The "magnetic" quantum number m=-l,..,+l determines the projection of the angular momentum on the (arbitrarily chosen) z-axis.
		This explains also why the choice of z-axis for the quantization of angular momentum is immaterial: An orbital of given l and m' obtained for another preferred axis z' can always be represented as a suitable superposition of the various states of different m (but same l) that have been obtained for z.

	Angular momentum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Angular momentum can also be calculated by multiplying the square of the distance to the point of rotation, the mass of the particle and the angular velocity.
		Constant angular momentum is extremely useful when dealing with the orbits of planets and satellites, and also when analyzing the Bohr model of the atom.
		Under this formalism, angular momentum is the 2-form Noether charge associated with rotational invariance (As a result, angular momentum isn't conserved for general curved spacetimes, unless it happens to be asymptotically rotationally invariant).

	Electron spin
		Quantization of angular momentum had already arisen for orbital angular momentum, and if this electron spin behaved the same way, an angular momentum quantum number s = 1/2 was required to give just two states.
		An angular momentum and a magnetic moment could indeed arise from a spinning sphere of charge, but this classical picture cannot fit the size or quantized nature of the electron spin.
		The precise value of g was predicted by relativistic quantum mechanics in the Dirac equation and was measured in the Lamb shift experiment.

		The angular momentum quantum number l is denoted in each column, using the usual spectroscopic letter code ("s" means l = 0; " p ": l = 1; " d ": l = 2).
		For all pictures the magnetic quantum number m has been set to 0, and the cross-sectional plane is the xz -plane ( z is the vertical axis).
		This has been demonstrated in the famous Lamb-Rutherford experiment and was the starting point for the development of the theory of Quantum electrodynamics (which is able to deal with these vacuum fluctuations and employs the famous Feynman diagrams for approximations using perturbation theory).

		In general, quantum statistics is concerned with the equilibrium distribution of elementary particles of a particular type among the various possible quantized energy states, with an assumption that these particles are indistinguishable.
		In quantum mechanics, electrons, protons, and neutrons have an intrinsic angular momentum known as "spin", and a magnetic moment parallel or antiparallel to that angular momentum.
		When electrons are combined together to form an atom or ion, there is a resultant angular momentum which is a combination of the intrinsic spin of the electrons and the angular momentum due to their motion about the nucleus, and this is the "spin" of the atom or ion.

	spin and angular momentum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		My message was a bit misleading in that I didn't mean that spin is not an angular momentum - it is. It behaves like an angular momentum and the addition of spin and orbital angular momentum proceeds in the same way as for two orbital angular momenta (or two spins) e.g.
		All I meant was that there is a distinction between these two types of angular momentum, and thus the "spin" of a particle cannot be due to the orbital angular momentum of some internal structure.
		Orbital angular momentum exists in quantum mechanics as the quantum analogue of the classical orbital angular momentum - one merely takes the definition L = r x p (where x denotes the vector cross product), and replaces position r and momentum p with their respective operators.

	Quantum Numbers and Atomic Energy Levels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		For light atoms, the spins and orbital angular momenta of individual electrons are found to interact with each other strongly enough that you can combine them to form a resultant spin S and resultant orbital angular momentum L (this is called Russell-Saunders or LS coupling).
		The S and L are combined to produce a total angular momentum quantum number J, and it is found that higher J values lie lower in energy ( Hund's Rule #3)
		When an external interaction such as a magnetic field is applied, then further splitting of the energy levels occurs, and that splitting is characterized in terms of the magnetic quantum number associated with the z-component of angular momentum.

		In a classical picture, the magnetic moment of orbital angular momentum can be understood from the circular current the electrons generate orbiting around the nucleus.

		Second even if the molecule had a dipole moment the symmetry requirements involved [due the two nuclei being identical and needing to have antisymmetric wavefunctions, because the proton is a Fermion and so the two protons cannot have exactly the same state] cause half the rotational levels to be forbidden.
		If the nuclear spin state is symmetric it turns out that the symmetric rotational levels (those with even angular momentum quantum number J) are forbidden while if the nuclear spin state is antisymmetric then the antisymmetric rotational levels (odd J) are forbidden.
		The electron spins in molecular oxygen add up to give a spin angular momentum quantum number of 1, so for a given J the total angular momentum quantum number N can be J-1, J, or J+1.
