Question

Which of the following statements about the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of molecular speeds are theoretically correct?

Answer: A,B,C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Statements A, B, and C are correct. Statement D is incorrect because as the temperature increases, the curve broadens and flattens out, meaning a *lower* fraction of the total molecules actually possesses the most probable speed (the peak of the curve drops).
