At ordinary temperatures, the molecules of a
diatomic gas have only translational and
rotational kinetic energies. At high
temperatures, they may also have vibrational
energy. As a result of this compared to lower
temperatures, a diatomic gas at higher
temperatures will have–

1. lower molar heat capacity.
2. higher molar heat capacity.
3. lower isothermal compressibility.
4. higher isothermal compressibility.
