6.2 In the HCl molecule, the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about 1.27A˚1.27 \AA ( 1A˚=10−10 m1 \AA=10^{-10} \mathrm{~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.
