As we learn

Maxwell's distribution of molecular speed -

n_{v}dv= 4\pi N\cdot \left ( \frac{m}{2\pi KT} \right )^{3/2}\cdot v^{2}\cdot e\frac{-mv^{2}}{2KT}\cdot dv
 

- wherein

N = total no. of molecules.

m = mass of molecule.

\pi,K,T all have usual meanings.

u = velocity of one particle.

 

 Maxwell distribution curve shows that \frac{dN}{dv} is maximum for Vmp

and

V_{rms}>V_{av}> V_{mp}
