Boltzmann statistics of Ideal gas

In statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, Maxwell - Boltzmann statistics explains the statistical distribution of the energies of the classic gas molecules over different states in thermal equilibrium. Maxwell Boltzmann statistics helps us to derive the Maxwell - Boltzmann distribution of ideal gas molecules, which is the result of the kinetic theory of gases.
