In particle physics we know that total angular momentum is conserved and its equal to orbital angular momentum plus spin angular momentum Can you give an example for me this total angular momentum conservation with explain specificly tell orbital angular momentum and spin angular momentum.

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!
