The separation between C and O -atoms in CO is 1.2 Å . The distance of carbon atom from the centre of mass is
Options
- A0.3 Å
- B0.7 Å
- C0.5 Å
- D0.9 Å
Correct answer
B. 0.7 Å
Step-by-step solution
The centre of mass will be slightly farther from C -atom (because it is lighter), so correct choice will be (2).
