how spinor vector envolves in describing the atom

welcome to pf!

hi sncum! welcome to pf!

a spinor is not a vector

each particle has a wave-function Ae^iφ

for spin-½ particles (fermions, such as the electron or proton), A is a spinor not a vector

for spin-0 or spin-1 particles (scalar or vector bosons, such as the photon), A is a scalar or vector

i didn't get this term really if u vl explained it please

 

[tiny-tim]

what term?

(you can look up spinors at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor )

and also all the quntum number how they described the state ?
actually i have just started learning physics (quantum)

sncum, there is a reason why they spend a whole semester (or more) teaching you this stuff!

take it sloooooow! ​
