Answer:
Diatomic GAS A molecule of diatomic gas has five degrees of freedom (3 tanslational and 2 rotational). Triatomic GAS (non-linear) A molecule of non linear gas can rotate about any of three co-ordinate axes. Hence it has six degrees of freedom (3 translational and 3 rotational).

Answer:
A diatomic gas molecule thus has 6 degrees of freedom. ... The center of mass motion of the entire molecule accounts for 3 degrees of freedom. In addition, the molecule has two rotational degrees of motion and one vibrational mode The rotations occur around the two axes perpendicular to the line between the two atoms.
