Q: Should one consider the spatial degeneracies of the electronic state while calculating the Gibbs free energy?

wzkchem5The Gibbs free energy of a molecule is generally expressed as a sum of translational, rotational, vibrational, electronic and nuclear contributions. The electronic contribution $G_{elec}$ is formally a sum of Boltzmann factors of all possible electronic states of the system, but since the first e...
