The molar heat capacity, $C_{v}$ of helium gas is 3/2 R and is independent of temperature. For hydrogen gas, $C_{v}$ approaches 3/2 Rat very low temperature, equals 5 / 2 R at moderate temperatures and is higher than 5 / 2 R at high temperature. Choose the correct reason for the temperature dependence of $C_{v}$ in case of hydrogen:

An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

Hydrogen is diatomic so at high temperature rotational and vibrational motion are not counted.

Can't be defined.

Hydrogen is diatomic so at high temperature rotational and vibrational motion also counts.

Hydrogen is monoatomic so at high temperature rotational and vibrational motion also counts.
