A stream of silver atoms was sent through an experiment using a magnetic field that wasn't always the same. Because of this, the atoms split up into two separate paths instead of being spread out evenly. The splitting seen in this experiment showed that the magnetic moment of each atom is quantised. This showed that electron spin exists, which is a natural property that can be thought of as a type of angular momentum. The spin quantum number, written as 𝑠, tells us about an electron's angular momentum and can be +1/2 or -1/2. The Stern-Gerlach experiment was very important for showing how electron spin is quantised. Electron spin is a basic quantum property that affects how magnetic particles are.
