We only care about the atom records atom name n, c, ca. The boltzmann constant k b or k, named after its 19th century austrian discoverer, ludwig boltzmann, is a physical constant that relates the average relative kinetic energy of particles in a gas with the temperature of the gas. Ludwig boltzmann, physicist whose greatest achievement was in the development of statistical mechanics, which explains and predicts how the properties of atoms such as mass, charge, and structure determine the visible properties of matter such.

Pdb files contain standard records for species, tissue, authorship, citations, sequence, secondary structure, etc. Not only did boltzmanns work establish some of the pillars of statistical mechanics, but, in some sense, laid the groundwork for the forthcoming quantum revolution. In an atom electrons revolue around the nucleus and a metal is composed of such atoms. So far weve been talking about ideal gases, but what about real systems consider a small system of particles that finds itself in a large thermal reservoir, that is at fixed temperature we want to calculate statistical properties of this.
