Quantum Mechanical Triplet

[edit]

I want to get this right. I'll mostly ignore the unproductive inflamatory comments (Confused? How about Insulting!).

As is, the description of a triplet in quantum mechanics is not general enough. A triplet state doesn't have to be derived from two fermions. In the oxygen molecule, for example, there are 16 electrons making up the triplet ground state. Many other atoms or molecules have spin triplets, and only a few (hydrogen molecule and helium-like atoms) have exactly two electrons. Also, the W and Z bosons have spin 1 and exist in spin triplets by themselves.

So I suggest, the following wording as an evolution of the current description:

It still doesn't mention the difference between the three states of a triplet, only the similarities.

Cleanup

[edit]

This disambiguation page was marked for cleanup per MOS:DAB. I removed the following entries because Wikipedia is not a dictionary and because they didn't back up their claim to be included on this disambiguation page by mentioning the word "triplet" in the linekd article. Some could however potentially be added to wikt:triplet.

This page says that triplet is "Tuplet in music" which is not right, I'm afraid. Triplet is one of the cases of tuplets in music. Can anyone fix this? Actually, I feel there should be a separate page about 'triplet in music'. 193.61.65.100 (talk) 12:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 19 March 2018

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus that Multiple births#Triplets is the primary topic of "Triplet," and thus no consensus to move the page at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 05:25, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]


TripletTriplet (disambiguation)Multiple birth § Triplets seems the clear primary topic; Triplet should redirect there per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. This would also be consistent with Twin and Twin (disambiguation).

While triplet (singular), like twin, is found in a variety of contexts, GBooks shows that triplets (plural) nearly always refers to multiple human births. Both Merriam-Webster and Oxford Dictionaries give this as the first definition of triplet (one of three children or animals born in one birth).

In article traffic as well, the article on multiple births gets vastly more hits than other Triplet articles (excluding synonyms and partial title matches). While not all of that traffic can be attributed to the content on triple births, the large margin – about 6x the views of the next-highest page – nonetheless suggests that most people who type Triplet or Triplets into the search bar are looking for that page. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 04:11, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
