Step-by-step solution
The formula for degree of freedom is given by f = 3 N - k where N is the number of particles, k is the individual relationship in the system. For a monoatomic gas particle, N = 1 ,   k = 0 . So, f = 3 Hence, monoatomic gas has 3 translational degree of freedom. For a rigid diatomic gas molecule, there are 5 degrees of freedom, 3 translational and 2 rotational. A diatomic gas can have two extra degrees of freedom due to rotation along two independent axes. A non rigid diatomic molecule has one extra degree of f
