Why does a diatomic gas have greater energy content per mole than monoatomic gas at the same temperature?

The molar specific heat of a diatomic molecule is CV = (5/2) R, meaning U = (5/2) n R T, while, for a monatomic gas, CV = (3/2) R or U = (3/2) n R T. Since the molar specific heat is greater for a diatomic molecule, there is more internal energy stored inthe motion of the molecules for the same temperature than for that temperature in a monatomic gas.

How does temperature relate to amount of energy present in a substance?
Higher temperature means greater energy content compared to a lower temperature. The energy required to change the temperature is proportional to the mass of the system, the specific heat capacity, and the temperature change.
Why are areas of sinking air dry?
At a given temperature and pressure, air with greater humidity content is less dense than air with less humidity content. So air with less humidity tends to fall.
Why does an updraft within a thundercloud tend to rise higher if the air has a higher moisture content?
The moisture content is not the only factor. it has to do with the temperature of the air. WARM AIR RISES, Cool air falls. the air in the updraft is warmer than the air around it. The greater difference in temp means faster and greater updrafts
Should you open your windows on hot days?
If the house temperature inside is greater than the temperature outside the house, then yes. If the temperature outside the home is greater than the temperature inside of the home, then no.
What density does an object have to have to sink in water?
A density greater than that of water (which varies with temperature).
How does temperature affect vapor pressure?
Vapor pressure increases with temperature. As the temperature increases ,molecules of liquid find it easier to escape.
When do objects radiate heat?
