The spin-orbit interaction is crucial to explain the right building that accommodate protons and neutrons called the shell model, and can be represented by L·S, where L is the orbital angular momentum and S is the spin or intrinsic angular momentum. To understand how the spin-orbit interaction does the trick you'll need to use commutator algebra and deduce whether the spin-orbit interaction L· S commute with the following operators: J?, Jz, L?, Lz and Sz For doing this, you'll need the following relations: J = L+S. L.S= - L² – S²) L·S = LXSX + LySy + L¿SZ
