Using this relation, obtain an expression for average speed. Also, plot Maxwellian
distribution function versus speed at three different temperatures.

Answer 1

an electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. it can be either free (not attached to any atom), or bound to the nuclear of an atom. ecletrons in atom exist in spherical shells of various radii, representing energy levels. the larger the sperical shell, the higher the energy contained in the electron
