In carbon monoxide molecule, the carbon and the oxygen atoms are separated by a distance 1.12 × 10–10 m. The distance of the centre of mass, from the carbon atom is
-
- 0.64 × 10–10 m
- 0.56 × 10–10 m
- 0.51 × 10–10 m
- 0.48 × 10–10 m
Correct Option: A
From definition of centre of mass.
| d = | |
| 16 + 12 |
| = | = 0.64 × 10-10 m. | |
| 28 |
