In the HCl molecule, the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about `1.27 Å (1 Å = 10^(-10) m)`. Find 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 radius of a hydrogen atom is 5.32 xx10^(-11) m and the radius of a proton at the centre is 1.5 xx 10^(-5) m. The ratio of the radius of the atom to the radius of proton is :

In the Rutherford’s nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about 10^(–15) m) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius ~~ 10^(–10) m) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, would the earth be closer to or farther away from the sun than actually it is? The radius of earth’s orbit is about 1.5 xx 10^(11) m. The radius of sun is taken as 7 xx 10^8 m .
