Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The minimum values for qnuc, qrot and qvib for a gas phase molecule is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Statistical thermodynamics is used to describe all possible configurations in a system at given physical quantities such as pressure, temperature and number of particles in the system. An important quantity in thermodynamics is partition function that is represented as,

qigieβi

It is also called as canonical ensemble partition function.
