The wavelength of a particle wave is inverselyproportional to its momentum, the constant ofproportionality being Planck’s contant (h):Allowed orbits are explained as containing anintegral number of the de Broglie’s wavelengths.

There is no real classical analog of the spin
It is quantized and comes in multiples of a basic unit of spin which is 1/2*Planck’s constant (has units of angular momentum)
Particles with odd multiples of the spin unit are called fermions
Particles with zero or even multiples of the spin unit are called bosons

The bizarreness of spin
Take a spin 1/2 particle (fermion, e.g electron)
Rotate the spin state through 360 degrees:it arrives at a quantum state which is measurably different from
the initial state!
Rotate it another 360 degrees (total 720) and you willget it back to the beginning.

The orientation of a spinning quantum particleis quantized ; e.g. the electron can be found in either of exactly two states: spin up or spin downfor each energy level available to it in an atom.

The Franck-Hertz display for mercury shown here was formed by sweeping the accelerating voltage and recording current vs voltage on an oscilloscope in x-y mode. The measured separation of the peaks corresponds to the excitation energy of the involved mercury transition.

Rutherford assumed that both his alphaparticles and the nucleous were point-like. Accelerators progressed and withhigher momentum (higher resolvingpower of the beam, λ=h/p)deviations from the simple formulastarted being observed.

We have then protons and neutrons in the nuclei--generically called nucleons.The “uncertainty” momentum of the nucleons ina 1 fm space is about 200 MeV.Since neutrons are neutral there has to be a new force operating at the 1 fm range in order to bind thenucleons into nuclei. It has to counterbalance the 200 MeV and therefore it has to be stronger that the electromagnetic energy which for two protons at 1 fm is about 2 MeV.
Energies that excite the atom do not excite the nucleus;the nucleus appears as a small inert core; the nuclear degrees of freedom are frozen on the scale of atomic physics.
