statistical thermodynamics
Statistical thermodynamics is the branch of thermodynamics that uses statistical methods to explain the behavior of large systems of particles and their energy distribution, including the study of entropy and probability distributions. It provides a statistical framework for understanding the macroscopic properties of materials and systems based on the behavior of individual atoms and molecules.
