The motion possess by mono-atomic gas molecules is:
Correct answer: A. Translatory
- A. Translatory
- B. Rotatory
- C. Vibratory
- D. None of these
Explanation
In a monoatomic gas, such as noble gases like helium, neon, argon, etc., the gas molecules consist of single atoms that are not bonded to each other. These atoms move freely and independently in random directions within the container. The motion of these gas molecules is primarily translational.

About Molar Specific Heat of a Gas
Molar specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of a gas by one kelvin, expressed through Q = nCΔT. Questions compare the constant volume value Cv with the constant pressure value Cp, apply the ideal gas relation Cp − Cv = R, and identify how the thermodynamic process affects heat capacity.
