Question

in carbon monoxide molecules, the carbon and the oxygen atoms are separated by distance 1.2*10 raise to -10 m. find the distance of the centre of mass from carbon atom. pls explain in detail

Answer 1

The carbon monoxide molecule (CO) consists of a carbon atom and an oxygen atom separated by a distance of 1.13 * 10^-10 m. The mass of mc = 0.750 mo. Determine the location of the center of mass of this molecule relative to the carbon atom.
