Explanation Given: The mass of the carbon atom is m C = 12 u . The mass of the oxygen atom is m O = 16 u . The separation between the atoms is 1.13 × 10 − 10 m . Let the distance of the center of mass from the carbon atom be x . Formula used: Center of mass: x c m = ∑ m i x i ∑ m i Where, ∑ m i x i is the sum of moments of each mass and ∑ m i is the total mass. Calculations:
