Question

Match List I with List II :

	List I		List II
A	3 Translational degrees of freedom	I	Monoatomic gases
B	3 Translational, 2 rotational degrees of freedoms	II	Polyatomic gases
C	3 Translational, 2 rotational and 1 vibrational degrees of freedom	III	Rigid diatomic gases
D	3 Translational, 3 rotational and more than one vibrational degrees of freedom	IV	Nonrigid diatomic gases

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
• B. (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
• C. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
• D. (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Monoatomic gases possess only translational degrees of freedom. So, option (I) matches with (A).

Polyatomic gases have translational and rotational degrees of freedom. So, option (II) matches with (D).

Rigid diatomic gases have translational, rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. So, option (III) matches with (B).

Non-rigid diatomic gases possess translational, rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. So, option (IV) matches with (C).
