Spin

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011196",
  "term": "Spin",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An intrinsic angular momentum of elementary particles, such as electrons and atomic nuclei, which gives rise to a magnetic moment. This quantum mechanical property is quantized and can have discrete values. In nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the spin of atomic nuclei is exploited for analysis.",
  "synonyms": [
    "nuclear spin"
