Boltzmann constant
A constant which describes the relationship between
temperature and kinetic energy for molecules in an ideal gas. It is equal to
1.380622 x 10-23 J/K.
The Boltzmann constant (k or kB)
is the physical
constant relating energy at the individual particle level with temperature, which
must necessarily be observed at the collective or bulk level. It is the gas
constant R divided by the Avogadro
constant NA.
