1 molecule

When calculating Degeneracy(W):
If the question says we have 1 molecule of a compound, does this mean the number of atoms is 1 or 6.023*10^23?

1 mole is 6.022 x 10^23 molecules, so when they give you 1 molecule it's just 1 molecule.

Degeneracy is calculated by finding (number of equivalent energy states)^(number of particles)
