We consider linear motion (molecule as a whole) along the 3 axis (each axis gives a new degree of freedom) to be due to kinetic energy and the vibrational motion of the constituents w.r.t to the center of mass of the system to give another degree of freedom. Vibrations are most of the times simple harmonic in nature. There could be rotational motion too and each rotational axis contributes to number of degrees of freedom. | |
