    For J=2, L and S are parallel and pointing in the same direction, representing the maximum possible vector sum of the two angular momenta.

    J=1 corresponds to the orientation where L and S are perpendicular to each other.

    J=0 occurs when L and S are parallel and pointing in opposite directions, canceling each other out to reach the minimum value.
