The specific heats,$C_P$ and $C_V$ of a gas of diatomic molecules,$A$,are given (in units of $J\, mol^{-1}\, K^{-1}$) by $29$ and $22$,respectively. Another gas of diatomic molecules,$B$,has the corresponding values $30$ and $21$. If they are treated as ideal gases,then:

  • A
    $A$ has one vibrational mode and $B$ has two
  • B
    Both $A$ and $B$ have a vibrational mode each
  • C
    $A$ is rigid but $B$ has a vibrational mode
  • D
    $A$ has a vibrational mode but $B$ has none
