Subject: Molecular Speeds at constant temperature of Gases

According to a graph I was viewing, 2 gases both at constant temperature one
being 0 Celcius and the other 100 Celcius they both reach a peak at different
fractions of molecules within 10m/s of indicated speed.  Yet then they begin to
decrease.  I am puzzled as to why as molecular speeds increase in both
temperatures why do they lose particles? or more importantly how seeing as how
its not as if somehow the molecules are subliming or are vaporizing.



this is where you can view the graph:
