Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions

• The peak of the curve represents the most likely energy of any single molecule- the mode (Emp)
• The mean energy of the molecule is a bit to the right of the peak
• The curve starts at (0,0) because no molecules have zero energy
• The area under a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curve is equal to the total number of molecules
• The x-axis is asymtopic as there is no max energy for the molecules
