why is the specific heat of a diatomic gas greater than the specific heat of a monatomic gas

because diatomic gas contains more internal energy than mono atomic gas
as you know U = E{rotational} + E{translational}
here for mono atomic Er+Et= 3+0
and for diatomic Er+Et= 2+3=5. that's why diatomic have more specific heat capacity.

Answer:A monatomic gas can only store heat as kinetic energy of motion as the atom moves randomly in the container. ... So, it takes more energy to raise the temperature of a diatomic gas because it has more ways (called degrees of freedom) to store that energy. Only kinetic energy of motion is related to temperature.
