  1. The degree of freedom of a molecule of a triatomic gas is
    1. 2
    2. 4
    3. 6
    4. 8
Correct Option: C

No. of degree of freedom = 3 K – N
where K is no. of atom and N is the number of relations between atoms. For triatomic gas,
K = 3, N = ³C2 = 3
No. of degree of freedom = 3 (3) – 3 = 6
