May 24, 2013 at 4:09 comment added Nick The statistical mechanical definition of temperature is T = (∂E/∂S). Since entropy is directly related to the number of states, I suppose you could define a temperature for a molecule. Not sure how it'd be very useful though.

May 24, 2013 at 1:34 comment added Greg That in turn describes the temperature of a collection of molecules.
May 24, 2013 at 1:29 comment added Greg I think it makes sense to talk about the kinetic energy of a molecule, which is where the Kinetic Theory of Ideal Gases comes from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory
