Answer:
The Maxwell–Boltzmann Equation and the Distribution of Molecules by Velocities
The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution concerns the distribution of an amount of energy between identical but distinguishable particles. It represents the probability for the distribution of the states in a system having different energies. A special case is the so-called Maxwell distribution law of molecular velocities. Maxwell introduced this law for the velocities of particles of a fluid (Maxwell, 1868), e.g. a gas or a liquid solution in thermal equilibrium, and gives the probability f(v) dv that the velocity v will be found in the infinitesimal range v to v + dv and gives the frequency of occurrence of the specific value v for the chosen velocity component vx, vy, vz per each direction x, y, z.
Maxwell found that the molecules are distributed by velocities following a
