In an isothermal process, the volume of an ideal gas is halved. One can say that ____________.


Assertion: Equal volumes of monatomic and polyatomic gases are adiabatically compressed separately to equal compression ratio `("P"_2/"P"_1)`. Then monatomic gas will have greater final volume.

Reason: Among ideal gases, molecules of a monatomic gas have the smallest number of degrees of freedom.
