Molecular Interlude

Will we have to memorize the Cv,m and Cp,m for the rotational motions? e.g. 3R for for nonlinear molecules

I think anything of that nature that we would need on a test would be given to us.

All the constants should be given to us.

Don't we need to know that the Cp for a single atom is 5R/2 and the Cv for a single atom is 3R/2?
