Consider a box full of a monatomic ideal gas. even for an ideal gas, the atoms are colliding with one another at a fantastic rate, perhaps each atom having a collision every 10-10 second. it might seem reasonable to think that given all of the collisions between atoms, after a brief time, the atoms would end up equally sharing their translational energy. that is, all molecules would be moving at the speed i. e. with the same fact, is that the speeds are distributed through a very large range, as shown in (6.50) magnitude of velocity however, what is found in same in a few sentences (so in words-no equations needed), describe why having distribution of speeds is expected.
