Question

In a carbon monoxide molecules, the carbon and
the oxygen atoms are separated by distance 1.2
x 10-10 m. The distance of centre of mass from
the carbon atom is?
a. 0.48 X 10-10 m
c.0.56 X 10-10 m
b. 0.51 X 10-10 m
d. 0.69 x 10-10 m​

Answer 1

Answer:

(d) 0.69×10^-10

Explanation:

ANSWER

If centre of mass is taken as origin, then ⇒ r1+r2

=m1+m2⇒r1

= 12+16

16 ×1.2×10 ^−10

=0.68×10 ^−10m
