The internal energy of one mole of an ideal gas is given by U = (f/2)RT, where f is the number of degrees of freedom.
For a non-linear triatomic molecule (assumed to be a rigid rotator), there are:
3 translational degrees of freedom.
3 rotational degrees of freedom.
Vibrational modes are generally not considered at temperature T unless specified.
Total degrees of freedom f = 3 + 3 = 6.
U = (6/2)RT = 3RT.
