The discussion revolves around calculating the center of mass of a carbon monoxide (CO) molecule, specifically the distance from the carbon atom to the center of mass given the masses of the atoms and the distance between them.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants actively seeking help and clarification. Some have suggested reviewing external resources, indicating a willingness to explore the topic further.
Participants note that the exercise is not found in their textbooks, which may limit their ability to reference similar problems. There is also mention of difficulties in understanding the material presented by their instructor.
The Homework template is there for a reason, please use it.Naldo6 said: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?
Perhaps you could read your notes or textbook?Naldo6 said:i don't know how to begin that problem... can anyone helps me?...
