At room temperature, do collisions between nitrogen molecules have enough energy to set a nitrogen molecule rotating?

Question:

At room temperature, do collisions between nitrogen molecules have enough energy to set a nitrogen molecule rotating? Enough to set it vibrating? The quantum of energy associated with rotation is \(E_{\text {rot }}=4.0 \times 10^{-23} \mathrm{~J}\) and the quantum of energy associated with vibration is \(E_{\mathrm{vib}}=4.7 \times 10^{-20} \mathrm{~J}\).
