The Maxwell - Boltzmann distribution
The Maxwell Boltzmann distribution is a statistically derived function showing how the energy of particles is distributed over all of the particles with some particles having no energy to particles with a great deal of energy. The majority of particles have energies intermediate between these two situations.
The shape of the curve, the distribution of energies changes with temperature.
