Question

In the CO molecule, the centre of mass is at a distance of 0.068 nm from the carbon atom. The separation between the nuclei of carbon and oxygen is

• A.
  
• B.
• C.
  
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A


Here $0.068nm=\frac{12\times 0+16\times x}{12+16}=\frac{16x}{28}$
Where x is the separation between the nuclei. Hence the correct choice is (a).
