Explanation Write the expression for Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. d n v d v = 4 π n ( m 2 π k T ) 3 2 d d v ( e − m v 2 2 k T v 2 ) (1) Here, ( n v n ) is the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution function for hydrogen atom and v is the speed. Conclusion: The most probable speed occurs when d n v d v = 0 . Substitute 0 for d n v d v in equation (1)
