At fixed volume and particle number, reversible heating obeys . Integrating the electronic heat capacity from zero temperature gives
With no extensive residual ground-state degeneracy, the third law of thermodynamics sets the electronic . Therefore
The entropy normalization follows that of : total, per volume or per mole. Lattice contributions are additional and are not part of this electronic result.
