Energy levels are said to be degenerate, if the same energy
level is obtained by more than one quantum mechanical state. They
are then called degenerate energy levels.
The number of quantum states at the same energy level is called
the degree of degeneracy.

A molecular energy state is the sum of
an electronic (e), nuclear (n), vibrational
(v), rotational (r) and translational (t)
component, such that:
  t  r  v  e  n
The degree of freedom of movement
• Translation: x,y,z F=3
Rotation
• For linear molecules, F=2
• For non-linear molecules, F=3
Vibration
• A polyatomic molecule containing n
atoms has 3n degrees of freedom
totally. Three of these degrees of
freedom can be assigned to
translational motion of the center of
mass, two or three to rotational motion.
• 3n-5 for a linear molecule;
• 3n-6 for a nonlinear molecule
• CO2 has 3×3-5 = 4 degrees of freedom of
vibration; nonlinear molecule of H2O has 3×3-6
= 3 degrees of freedom of vibration.

all energy levels except ground energy level
are degenerate.
Example At 300K, 101.325 kPa, 1 mol
of H2 was added into a cubic box. Calculate
the energy level εt,0 at ground state, and the
energy difference between the first excited
state and ground state.

the energy difference is so small that the translational particles
are excited easily to populate on different excited states, and
that the energy changes of different energy levels can be think
of as a continuous change approximately.

8.2.4 Electron and atomic nucleus
The differences between energy levels of electron
motion and nucleus motion are big enough to keep the
electrons and nuclei stay at their ground states.
Both degree of degeneracy, ge,0, for electron motion
at ground state and degree of degeneracy, gn,0, for
nucleus motion at ground state are different for
different substances, but they are constant for a given
substance.
8.5 Computations of the partition function

8.5.2 Zero-point energy
• zero-point energy is the energy at ground state or
the energy as the temperature is lowered to
absolute zero.
• Suppose some energy level of ground state is ε0,
and the value of energy at level i is εi, the energy
value of level i relative to ground state is
  i  0

• Taking the energy value at ground state as zero,
we can denote the partition function as q0.

first excited state of them are not so large, the
second term in the summation has to be

Nuclear motion is always in the ground state at ordinary
chemical and physical process because of large energy

8.8 Entropy and partition function
8.8.1 Entropy and microstate
Boltzmann formula
S  k ln 
k = 1.38062×10-23 J K-1
As the temperature is lowered, the Ω, and hence the S of the
system decreases. In the limit T→0, Ω=1, so lnΩ=0, because
only one configuration is compatible with E=0. It follows
that S→0 as T→0, which is compatible with the third law of
thermodynamics.

8.8.3 Calculation of statistical entropy
• At normal condition electronic and nuclear
motions are in ground state, and in general
physical and chemical process the contribution to
the entropy by two modes of motion keeps
constant. Therefore only translational, rotational
and vibrational entropies are involved in
computation of statistical entropy.

residual entropy
• in some the experimental entropy is less than the
calculated value. One explanation to this
discrepancy is that the experimental system does
not reach a real state of equilibrium. In other
words, some disorder is present in the solid even
at T = 0 K. In this case, the entropy at T = 0 is then
greater than zero. This difference in entropy is
called the residual entropy.
