The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution function is a function f(E) which gives the probability that a given particle has the energy E. This distribution is classical and is used to describe identical but distinguishable particles.
![{\displaystyle f(E)={\frac {1}{A\exp[E/k_{B}T]}}}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/a9b0385c40af4c8b94dc20bc46297ea4d1ae0cc9)
where A is a normalisation constant.
