Question

What is G in Boltzmann distribution?

Answer 1

Answer:

lnW also given by Boltzmann. g = W = “degeneracy” of the state.

The Boltzmann equation to the rescue

Note the two terms on the right-hand side. The first term includes factors describing the degeneracy of each energy level. In a hydrogen atom, there are g = 2 ways that an atom can exist at the n=1 energy level, and g = 8 ways that an atom can arrange itself at the n=2 energy level
