what is monoatomic and diatomic gas? what is the difference between them?
and how to find out their average kinetic energy?

A monotonic gas is composed of single atoms: Examples, He, Ar
A diatomic gas is composed of a two-atom molecule of the same atom. Examples O2, H2, N2
The average kinetic energy, regardless of composition is (3/2)*k*T, were k = boltzmann's constant and T = absolute temperature in K
