spin part of orbitals?

[Julia Lee]

Hey guys,
I was just wondering whether or not spin counted as being a part of an orbital. In the textbook questions, I don't think they were counted but im unsure as to why they aren't.

[LorenzoDuvergne3I]

Spin is the property of an electron so it doesn't indicate anything about the orbital. All it does is say whether whichever one of the orbital's two electrons is spinning up or down.

[RandallNeeDis3K]

Lavelle introduced spin by explaining the electron spin experiment in class. It just demonstrates the spin on the electron, but nothing to do with the orbital itself.

is spin related to a specifc quantum number?

[Diviya Khullar 1G]

The quantum number for the spin of an electron will be either +1/2 or -1/2 but I don't think we will be learning how to determine the spin of a specific electron in this class.

The spin of an electron is the 4th quantum number.
