Question

Energy of 10 non rigid diatomic molecules at temperature … is :

Accepted Answer

Option D. The energy of a diatomic molecule depends on the degrees of freedom it has. For a non-rigid diatomic molecule, there are more degrees of freedom compared to a rigid diatomic molecule. Specifically, a non-rigid diatomic molecule has translational, rotational, and vibrational degrees of freedom. The translational and rotational degrees of freedom are the same for both rigid and non-rigid diatomic molecules, which include:
