Interpretation:
The numbers of terms for the summation of the electronic partition function for
Concept introduction:
Different linearly independent wavefunctions that have same energy are called degenerate. This is expressed in terms of degeneracy. If two functions are having same energy then they are called doubly degenerate and so on. The electronic partition function is represented as,
