Postulates Of The Maxwell-Boltzmann Statistics:

The basic postulates of the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics are :

  1. The particles of the system are spinless, identical and distinguishable.
  2. Neither the Heisenberg Uncertainty relation, nor the Pauli’s exclusion principle is applicable to the particles.
  3. 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.
  4. The volume of the quantum state can be as small as possible and may even approaches zero.
  5. 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 \(\displaystyle{\frac{n_i}{g_i}<<1}\).
