The Boltzmann constant written ordinarily as k or denoted with the letter kB was named after an Austrian physicist as well as a philosopher whose works were towards the development of mechanics in the field of statistics that explains and also predicts how the physical properties of matter can be determined using the properties of atoms Therefore, it is a physical constant bringing energy together at the individual particle level together with temperature. It is written in formula as followings: k= R/NA, where R is the gas constant while NA represents the Avogadro constant The Boltzmann constant has dimension energy that is divided by temperature (ToC) that is similar to entropy but with the value of 1.38064852(79) ×10−23 J/K in SI units. The letter k acts as a bridge between macro- and microscopic physics.
