The ground electronic state of atomic oxygen is five-fold degenerate, the first electronic excited state is three-fold degenerate and is located 3.142 x 10-24 J above ground, and the second electronic excited state is nondegenerate and is located 4.498 x 10-24 J above ground. No other electronic excited states of atomic oxygen are thermally accessible at 300 K. Given this information, what is the value of the electronic partition function for atomic oxygen at a temperature of 300 K?
