Postulates Of The Maxwell-Boltzmann Statistics:
The basic postulates of the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics are :
- The particles of the system are spinless, identical and distinguishable.
- Neither the Heisenberg Uncertainty relation, nor the Pauli’s exclusion principle is applicable to the particles.
- There does not exist a number of quantum States for a given energy level, i.e. there is no multiplicity of the energy states and any no of particles may occupy any given quantum states.
- The volume of the quantum state can be as small as possible and may even approaches zero.
- As the number of the quantum states \(g_i\) in an energy level can be made as large as we make compared to the number of particles \(n_i\) available to the \(i^{th}\) state, the occupation index \(\displaystyle{\frac{n_i}{g_i}<<1}\).
