Question

What is the difference between$s$and $S$?

Short answer

The difference between $s$and$S$is given below in step.

Step-by-step solution

Given Information 

We need to find the difference between $s$and$S$.

Explanation

The quantum number $s=\frac{1}{2}$is the spin of an electron. It the orbital quantum number $l$. though it is not an integer, its allowed values differ by the integer $\$|pm\$1$. $S$is the actual numerical value of the spin angular momentum. It is related to $s$bylocalid="1650177857071" $S=\sqrt{s\left(s+1\right)}h$.
