I've learned how to construct singlet and triplet with two S=1/2 particles, i.e., electrons. How can I generalize it to system with two S=1 ions? Furthermore, I wonder what is the general principle to make a quantum entity with n-particle S=m systems. Thank you in advance.

This is a quite broad topic and it is a bit vague on which level you want the response. I suggest looking up Clebsch-Gordan coefficients on Wikipedia or similar and ask if you have particular questions.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
