Carbon Dioxide has a degree of freedom of 6, yet from what I understand, it is a linear molecular shape. Therefore, the number of axis of linear movement is 3 (x,y,z) but there are only two axis of rotational movement since the center of mass essentially does not rotate on one of the axis due to its linear shape. Yet I'm pretty sure my textbook is saying that carbon dioxide has a degree of freedom of 6 when that should be wrong. Can someone explain?
