why limited to particles? edit

Spin quantum number equally applies to nuclei, atoms and molecules (ground states or particular excited states), and also to quasiparticle states in solids and similar quantum phenomena. I don't understand why this property is limited to particles (subclasses of particle (Q1621273) - and in the description it says subatomic particles, subatomic particle (Q177013)). I think we should remove the constraint, or at least add other suitable top-level items to the constraint if that makes more sense. A similar issue exists for parity quantum number (P1123). Also the range limit isn't really right - just randomly checking, bismuth-205 has a ground-state spin of 9/2 and I believe there are others even higher.

I've modified the constraint to allow isotopes to have this property. Also greatly increased the allowed range, as many nuclides have quite high spin quantum numbers. ArthurPSmith (talk) 00:26, 26 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Is there a way to represent classes of numbers? edit

This property allows to use only numbers. How can I indicate that bosons have integer spins and fermions half-integer spins?--Malore (talk) 17:56, 27 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
