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.
