1.	The distance between the centres of carbon and oxyen atoms in the carbonmonoxid gas molecule is 1.13Å. Locate the centre of amss of the gas molecule relative to the carbon atom.
Answer» Solution :CENTRE of MASS `x_(CM) =(m_(1)x_(1)+m_(2)x_(2))/(m_(1)+m_(2))` `=(13xx0+16xx1.13)/(12+16)` `=0.6457Å`
