Question

degree of freedom of CO2

Answer 1

Instead, the reason the rotation is ignored is that none of the atoms move due to the "rotation". So since C O X 2 has three atoms and is linear, it has 3*3 - 5 = 4 degrees of freedomwhich are independent of the global rotation and translation. We call these the vibrational modes.

Answer 2

Answer:

7

Explanation:

rotational = 3

translational = 3

vibrational = 1
