About Degrees of Freedom and Energy

We know that the degree of freedom of oxygen is 5. For this the total kinetic energy of oxygen must be (5/2)nRT. But maximum books say that it should be (3/2) nRT where as our college teacher said it will be (5/2)nRT Which is the correct one? Please help me on this one.
