Thus, we use \epsilon ^{\divideontimes } = \frac{3}{2} kT from kinetic theory to find that \Gamma = 2\times 10^{26} . The total number of particles in a 1 cm^{3} volume at standard temperature and pressure is 3\times 10^{19}. Hence, we find that only about 1 in every 10^{7}available translational energy states is actually occupied on average by a particle under these conditions.
