Choose the true statement that compares and contrasts the Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) distribution, the Fermi-Dirac (FD) distribution, and the Bose-Einstein (BE) distributions
b.
The MB distribution is only accurate for ideal gases and other dilute substances where the intermolecular/interatomic reactions do not have a significant impact on particle behavior. Both of the other two can model higher density material such as liquids or solids.
