1.	If the CO bond length is 121 pm, what is the distance between the nuclei of oxygen atoms in carbondioxide molecule?
Answer» SOLUTION :Carbon dioxide is a LINEAR molecule with two C=O bonds opposite to each other. `O=C=O` 121 PM`""` 121 pm The DISTANCE between the nuclei of OXYGEN atoms in `CO_(2)` molecule is `121+121=242` pm.
