In today’s lecture, Lavelle was explaining about N being the number of particles that can occupy the states but I’m confused on the last example that he gave about the CO molecules and why he put N=4 instead of N=2
Thank you

Re: N: number of particle
In the carbon monoxide example today, he put N=4 instead of N=2 because he was referring to four CO molecules, not the number of atoms within each molecule.

Re: N: number of particle
so if it was asking for the number of atoms would you use avogadro's number?

If they asked for one mole of atoms, then you would use Avogadro's number.

Re: N: number of particle
So for the last example of BFCl2, if there are 4 moles of this molecules, then does w=3^4NA? or just w=3^4?
