Chapter 16, Problem 16.19E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The diagram representing the relationship between total spin angular momentum $\left(S\right)$ and the z-component of spin angular momentum $\left(S_z\right)$ for the electron spin is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Angular momentum is shown by the orbitals when the atom is rotating. The energy of rotation of atom depends upon the quantum number $\left(l\right)$ but does not depend upon the quantum number $\left(m_l\right)$ as the total angular momentum of the atom is quantized. Similarly the motion of electron is also accompanied by angular momentum.
