Beautiful presentation

Ι watched other vids about this topic and this video was the most detailed in its explanation. Great work!

What a fantastic explanation!!! Understood clearly.

you are a lifesaver!

Great explanation,not even mentioned so clearly in the books

It helped my understanding.

great video!!!! You're a great teacher helping me get through MIT!

Thanks you for this video, I have been stuck on this idea for a while and this explanation makes it seem so simple and elegant that I'm surprised it took me so long to get it!

Perfect. Thanks

....are you, writing backwards? Haven't really seen that before, that's amazing, nice vid

Great explanation! Thank you.

I understood this lesson clearly because this video .thank you

Clear and understandable, thanks for the video

Clearly understand this concept tq so much

For a polyatomic molecule, what about a rotation about a certain bond axis where one part of the molecule rotates relative to another part? Would those count as additional rotational DOFs? would they be lumped in with the vibrational DOFs somehow? or would the associated potential energy of each conformation mean these DOFs don't contribute at all?

Have my PC exam in 1 week… this video helped out a lot ! Thermodynamics is going well, my problem is quantum mechanics :) Thank you for the video !

Thank you very much sir. It was very helpful.

Great explanation Sir, thank you very much

What is perplexing is what difference should the additional degrees of freedom add to computing the energy of the ensemble? After all, each type of motion has its own amount of energy to give to the system, and they could vary greatly. So how could a blanket statement like 'one more degree of freedom' give a statistically valid reason to lump them all together in the calculation by raising the exp(E) by an additional number or more and multiplying. The answer, it seems to me, to be that, in each case we are dealing with an average value of the degree of freedom in the statistical expression, and in each case that is equal to any other of the average values, or the RMS values.

Sir what are the DOF for a triatomic molecule…  for linear and non linear both cases?
