In the HCl molecule, the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about 1.27 Å . What is the approximate location of the CM of the molecule, given that a chlorine atom is about 35.5 times as massive as a hydrogen atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus.

Question

In the HCl molecule, the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about 1.27 Å . What is the approximate location of the CM of the molecule, given that a chlorine atom is about 35.5 times as massive as a hydrogen atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus., the centre of mass of the HCl molecule lies 0.027 A˚ from the Cl atom, the centre of mass of the HCl molecule lies 0.035 A˚ from the Cl atom, the centre of mass of the HCl molecule lies 0.065 A˚ from the Cl atom, the centre of mass of the HCl molecule lies 0.073 A˚ from the Cl atom

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Correct Option is : (B) the centre of mass of the HCl molecule lies 0.035 A˚ from the Cl atom
