Normal distribution

The normal (or Gauss) distribution – is the smooth approximation

of the Newton’s binomial formula
Parameters of Gauss distribution:
x – some random value
μ — the most probable (or expected) value of the random (the maximum of the distribution function)
σ — dispersion of the random value.

In case of the Eagles and Tails game: μ = N/2, σ = (N/2)1/2 << N

Pk=(2/πN)1/2exp(-2(k-N/2)2/N) =>

Statistical Entropy in Molecular Physics: the logarithm of the number of

possible micro-realizations of a state with certain macro-parameters, multiplied by the Boltzmann constant.
In the state of thermodynamic equilibrium, the entropy of a closed system has the maximum possible value (for a given energy).
If the system (with the help of external influence)) is derived from the equilibrium state - its entropy can become smaller. BUT…
If a nonequilibrium system is left to itself - it relaxes into an equilibrium state and its entropy increases
The entropy of an isolated system for any processes does not decrease, i.e. ΔS > 0 , as the spontaneous transitions from more probable (less ordered) to less probable (more ordered) states in molecular systems have negligibly low probability

the number of variants of realization of a state (the statistical weight of a state) shall be higher, if the so called phase volume, available for each molecule (atom), is higher: Phase volume Ω1 ~Vp3~VE3/2 ~VT3/2

As molecules are completely identical, their permutations do not change neither the macrostate, nor the microstates of the system. Thus we have to reduce the statistical weight of the state by the factor ~ N! (the number of permulations for N molecules)

the phase volume for N molecules shall be raised to the power N: Ω ~ VNT3N/2.
For multy-atomic molecules, taking into account the possibilities of rotational and oscillational motion, we shall substitute 3 by i : Ω ~ VNT iN/2

Ω~ VNTiN/2 /N!; S=k ln Ω =kNln(VTi/2/NC)=

The statistical entropy proves to be the same physical quantity, as was earlier defined in thermodynamics without even referring to the molecular structure of matter and heat!
