THERMODYNAMICS OF THE ELECTRON AND THE PROTON

The currently accepted conventions for the thermodynamics of the electron do not follow the proper statistical mechanics equations. The correct values are here obtained from numerical solution of the Fermi-Dirac statistical mechanics equations, yielding an entropy at 298.15 K of 22.734 J/mol.K (5.434 cal/mol.K) and an integrated heat capacity at the same temperature of 3.145 kJ/mol.K (0.752 kcal/mol). The effect that this would have, based on the current thermochemical conventions, on the thermodynamics of the proton, and of all other gaseous ions, is noted.
