The average thermal energy for a mono-atomic gas is : (kBk_B is Boltzmann constant and T, absolute temperature)

1

12kBT\frac{1}{2} k_B T

2

32kBT\frac{3}{2} k_B T

3

52kBT\frac{5}{2} k_B T

4

72kBT\frac{7}{2} k_B T

Step-by-Step Solution

For monoatomic gases, degree of freedom is 3. Hence average thermal energy per molecule is KEavg=32kBTKE_{avg} = \frac{3}{2} k_B T.
