Abstract
This chapter explains the molecular partition function in the context of applying the Boltzmann law. It discusses the equations for molecular energy states alongside diagrams for clarification. Next, the chapter previews the importance of the molecular partition function under the thermodynamic calculations in a macroscopic assembly of particles. It notes the molecular partition function q, which determines the particle distribution over accessible quantum states. In addition, the chapter characterizes the closeness of spacing in the energy manifold by referring to the density of state functions. It adds how partition functions can be modified by taking into account that quantum states can be degenerate, with a number (g) of states all sharing the same energy.
