Consider a gas of triatomic molecules. The molecules are assumed to be triangular and made of massless rigid rods whose vertices are occupied by atoms. The internal energy of a mole of the gas at temperature T is :

a
52RT
b
32RT
c
3RT
d
92RT

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Degrees of freedom for a non linear triatomic molecule =  Three Translation + Three Rotation = 6 (or) f=3A-B=3(3)-3=6   A=no. of atoms and B= no of restrictionsU=f2RT=62RT=3RT
