There are two different kinds of particles (electrons, protons, neutrons, atoms, molecules). Each such particle has a so called "spin" which is quantum mechanical value. Depending on spin particles behave differently in the same conditions and can be described using two different distributions. First one is Bose-Einstein distribution for particles with integer spin. Second on is Fermi-Dirac distribution for particles with spin n/2 (where n is an integer number which can take values starting from 1 and higher).
