 Rotational entropy

The entropy contribution from populated molecular rotational states. A nonlinear rigid rotor has $q_{\mathrm{rot}}\propto T^{3/2}$ at high temperature, giving $S_{\mathrm{rot},\mathrm{m}}=R(\ln q_{\mathrm{rot}}+3/2)$. Its rotational symmetry number removes redundant orientations.
