Under the stated vibrational-ground-state approximation and a nondegenerate electronic ground state, only translation and rotation contribute. Therefore
(1)
A temperature-independent ground-state energy, including zero-point energy, contributes no entropy. This estimate deliberately omits thermal vibrational excitation; it need not equal a tabulated value that includes all modes.
