determining number of microstates
In general, how would you calculate the number of microstates of a more complicated molecule? Does anyone have an example?

Re: determining number of microstates
I am also very confused about this. Will we be told on the exam or do we have to draw and figure it out?

I'm not too certain that we will have to calculate the number of microstates for a specific molecule, but rather if the molecule can be in place A or place B. I think it'll more like probability in place A vs. place B and that is the number of microstates.

Agree.
