I Is the spin linked to the third quantum number ?

[Dinofou]

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I was wondering if the third quantum number affects spin since they are both linked by magnetism. If not, will an excited particle have a different spin than a non-excited one ?

Thanks for your answer and sorry for the possible mistakes, I'm just a young french baguette.

the third quantum number

Can you give more details, or a reference, to what particular scenario you are talking about?

 

[Nugatory]

No particular linkage, at least not if you're using the standard n,l,m,s labels for a bound electron, so that the third quantum number is m.

Yes I was talking about m, should've been more specific sorry. Thx for your answer.
