   > The four quantum numbers (n, L, mL, ms) are well defined in the

   up, spin down)   
      
   > It is reasonable to assume that the rotation of a bound electron may set up   
   a magnetic dipole.    
      
   Except for the value of the magnetic momentum   
   cannot be explained by classical rotation of a charged ball.    
   Too high speed and rotation energy would be needed for that.   
      
      
   > If a magnetic dipole does exist then the magnetic moment “associated with   
   orbit” (mn) may have two possible values;    
      
   No.    
      
   The orbital magnetic quantum number m   
      
    ( associated with a projection of orbital angular momentum,   
   while s is associated with a projection of spin angular momentum)   
      
   has integer values.   
      
   0 for orbitals s.   
   -1, 0, 1 for orbitals p   
   etc.   
      
   It takes values -l ... +l   
   where l(small L ) is the quantum number telling the norm of the orbital   
   angular momentum.   
      
   Interactions of spin/orbital and spin/spin magnetic momenta in atoms   
   is reason for existence of fine and hyperfine spectra structures.   
      
   It is also basis of the caesium atomic clock s and the current second   
   definition.
