Answer
The main features of the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution of speeds are given bellow:
1. The distribution of populations is an exponential function of energy and temperature.
2. At a high temperature more energy levels are occupied than at a low temperature.
3. More levels are significantly populated if they are close together in comparison with $kT$ (like rotational and translational states), than if they are far apart (like vibrational and electronic states).
