electron-air molecule collision is about 10-15 cm2
the fraction of the particles scattered is Rs / Ri
for air A = 29
Rs / Ri = NA L / A X 10-3
Rs / Ri = 1 - 90%
= 0.1
0.1 = NA L / A X 10-3
0.1 = 6.023 X 1023 X 0.2 X X 10-19 / 29 X 10-3
= 0.1 X 29 X 10-3 / 6.023 X 1023 X 0.2 X 10-19
= 2.407438 X 10-7 kg/m3
or
= 2.407438 X 10-10 g/cm3
