In carbon monoxide molecule distance between carbon and oxygen atom is

1.	In carbon monoxide molecule distance between carbon and oxygen atom is 1.1Å. If mass of carbon atom is 12 amu and oxgyen atom is 16 amu where does the centre of mass of molecule lie?
Answer» at a distance of `6.3Å` from a carbon atom at a distance of `1Å` from a OXYGEN atom at a distance of `0.63Å` from a carbon atom at a distance of `0.12Å` from a oxygen atom SOLUTION :`m_(1)=12,m_(2)=16` `vec(r_(1))=0hati+0hatj,vec(r_(2))=1.1hati+0hatj` `vecr=(m_(1)vec(r_(1))+m_(2)vec(r_(2)))/(m_(1)+m_(2))` `=(16xx1.1)/(28)hati=0.63hati`
