Degree of freedom for polyatomic gas

Question

Degree of freedom for polyatomic gas (A)  ge 4 (B)  ge 5 (C)  ge 6 (D)  ge 7

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

A diatomic molecule posses 3 translational, 2 rotational and 1 vibrational degree of freedom which gives a total of 6 degrees of freedom. A polyatomic gas has more than 2 atoms in one molecule of it so it must have more than or equal to 6 degrees of freedom.
