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.
