How would you find the number of microstates for a molecule?

you look at the possible number of places it can be after you draw the molecule out

It's the number of orientations a molecule can have. You can draw the molecule to see how many positions the milecules can have and put it to the power of the number of atoms in a molecule. Usually as T goes to 0 K atoms go to a crystal state.
