The distance between the carbon and oxygen atoms in a carbon monoxide molecule is $1.1 \, \mathring A$. Given that the mass of the carbon atom is $12 \, a.m.u.$ and the mass of the oxygen atom is $16 \, a.m.u.$,find the position of the center of mass of the carbon monoxide molecule.

  • A
    At a distance of $6.3 \, \mathring A$ from the carbon atom
  • B
    At a distance of $1 \, \mathring A$ from the oxygen atom
  • C
    At a distance of $0.63 \, \mathring A$ from the carbon atom
  • D
    At a distance of $0.12 \, \mathring A$ from the oxygen atom
