For an ideal gas, interval energy can only be translational K.E. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In an ideal gas, there is no force of attraction//repulsion amongst the molecules. Therefore, there cannot be internal potential energy. Hence the internal energy can only be translational K.E.
