Edited title as i think it is a nice question to see opened.

I saw ;-) I do also see what you mean now about the degrees of freedom bit now. I think I misused the word depend there. I'll change it.

comment Why isn't temperature measured in units of energy?
@Dilaton I don't think energy and temperature are the same thing. This is what I am saying with the derivation. It is a bit of an aside but essentially it should just to show that temperature has a dimension of its own.

@annav physics reaches out to chemistry and biology. I don't see the problem with this question. Elementary physics is being applied here. The OP is curious about something.

comment In the Lennard-Jones potential, why does the attractive part (dispersion) have an $r^{-6}$ dependence?
Good effort but I noticed you've introduced some notations and not really made a full statement about what they are. Could you fix it? Also why is you arrow like that over both the $\vec{O_1 O_2}$ expressions?

comment Electrostatic Potential Energy Calculation (Sign Problem)
@jeevan If you try to label variables and state what everything in your expression means firstly people will respond well to that. It's no good to just link a wikipedia page and make obscure references here and there. Wikipedia pages have a lot of information in them. It is unlikely somebody will want to read through all of it just to find the one bit that confuses you when you have not really made it clear on here.

@jeevan why don't you fix it on the webpage?
