A molecule similar to methanol is made by joining three flourine atoms (purple; m = 19 amu each) to one carbon atom (blue; 12 amu) to one oxygen atom (green; 16 amu) to one sodium atom (orange; 23 amu). The position of each atom is as follows:

1. The flourine atoms are evenly spaced about the origin in the z = 0 plane, with one of them on the x axis at -0.648 nm.

2. The carbon atom is on the z axis at z = 0.324 nm.

3. The oxygen atom is on the z axis at z = 1.296 nm.

4. The sodium atom is located at coordinates (x, y, z) = (-0.486, 0.000, 1.620) nm.

Determine the components of the inertia tensor for this molecule. Enter a) I_xx, b) I_yy, and c) I_zz.
