6: Kinetic Theory of Gases
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- 6.1: The Distribution of Molecular Speeds Is Given by the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution
- The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is used to determine how many molecules are moving between velocities.
- 6.2: Collision Theory
- The mean free path is the distance a particle will travel, on average, before experiencing a collision event. This is defined as the product of the speed of a particle and the time between collisions.
