Homework Statement
Oxygen 17, work out j (nuclear spin)Hi. Assume oxygen 17 atom. j is supposed to be 5/2. How does one work this out? from what i gather, l for protons is 1, and l for neutrons is 2. How does one work out j, and what would s be?
Partly what I'm confused about is for the protons l=1 but neutron l=2? what l do you use?
Thanks
