View Full Version : distance of atoms
The distance between a carbon atom (m = 12.0u) and an oxygen atom (m = 16.0u) in the CO molecule is 1.13×10-10 m. How far from the carbon atom is the center of mass of the molecule?

How do you find the center of mass then?
Or if you don't know how, then what is the center of mass?
i really dont knwo too much.. i dont understand my physics profesor....
