Match List I with List II :
| List I | List II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | 3 Translational degrees of freedom | (I) | Monoatomic gases |
| (B) | 3 Translational, 2 rotational degrees of freedoms | (II) | Polyatomic gases |
| (C) | 3 Translational, 2 rotational and 1 vibrational degrees of freedom | (III) | Rigid diatomic gases |
| (D) | 3 Translational, 3 rotational and more than one vibrational degrees of freedom | (IV) | Nonrigid diatomic gases |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
<p>Monoatomic gases possess only translational degrees of freedom. So, option (I) matches with (A).</p>
<p>Polyatomic gases have translational and rotational degrees of freedom. So, option (II) matches with (D).</p>
<p>Rigid diatomic gases have translational, rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. So, option (III) matches with (B).</p>
<p>Non-rigid diatomic gases possess translational, rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. So, option (IV) matches with (C).</p>
