NO molecule has a ground and an excited electronic state
separated by an energy of 0.015 eV, which are both doubly
degenerate write an expression for the corresponding
electronic partition function for NO.
Write down the values of the partition function in the high and
low temperature limits, and describe the population of the
available states in each case.
Calculate the partition function at T = 25°C and comment on
whether the excited state is significantly occupied at room
temperature.
