According to law of equipartition of energy. How many degree of freedoms are active for energy distr — AITS & Test Series Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

SO2 is a non-linear molecule. Translational degree of freedom = 3 Rotational degree of freedom = 3 Vibrational degree of freedom = (3 × 3 – 6) = 3 But, vibration degree of freedom is inactive at low temperature. Active degree of freedom = 3 + 3 = 6
