What does the spin of an electron mean?
Is it the z component of the spin angular momentum or the spin quantum number?
Is it the z component of the spin angular momentum or the spin quantum number?
No.This is something that confuses me. Are we saying that the electron is literally spinning on its axis,
Yes. - at least, it would be inaccurate and possibly misleading to think of an electron as a spinning sphere.... is it incorrect for me to think of the electron from a spherical perspective?

This is something that confuses me. Are we saying that the electron is literally spinning on its axis, like a spinning top, or the Earth, or is it incorrect for me to think of the electron from a spherical perspective?
