Question

The degree of freedom for monoatomic gas is:

• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A

3

The degrees of freedom of the system is given by:- f = 3 N - K
Where, f = degrees of freedom
N = Number of Particles in the system.
K = Independent relation among the particles.
For a monatomic gas; N = 1 and K = 0;
f = 3 X 1 - 0 = 3
