Question

Degree of freedom for polyatomic gas

• A. $\ge$ 4
• B. $\ge$ 5
• C. $\ge$ 6
• D. $\ge$ 7

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\ge$ 6

Answer 2

A polyatomic gas has 3 translational, 2 rotational degrees of freedom, and 1 vibrational mode. Hence, the degree of freedom for polyatomic gas with more than 2 atoms in one molecule will be more than or equal to 6.

Hence, the Correct Option is C)
