Write the degree of freedom for a polyatomic gas.

$A$ diatomic gas consisting of rigid molecules is at a temperature of $87^{\circ} C$. If the moment of inertia of the rotating diatomic rigid molecule is $2.76 \times 10^{-39} \text{ g cm}^2$,then the rms angular speed of the molecule is (Boltzmann constant $= 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \text{ J K}^{-1}$).

When the temperature of a gas is increased,does the degree of freedom change?

Match List-$I$ with List-$II$:
List-$I$ List-$II$
