just to verify: w is the number of orientation (# of ways to arrange the atoms in a molecule) to the power of however many molecules are involved?

Make sure you use a capital W when referring to degeneracy, since we use lowercase w to refer to work. Otherwise you will probably mix them up since they are commonly used in this unit.
