If cobalt-60 emits a gamma ray what is the product?
When cobalt-60 emits a gamma ray, it remains as cobalt-60. The emission of a gamma ray does not change the identity of the cobalt-60 isotope.
Why is cobalt used in medicine as a tracer and not uranium?
Cobalt 60 is not used in medicine as tracer. Cobalt 60 is used to destroy cancer tumors by gamma irradiation. Uranium has a gamma radiation with an energy of about 185 keV, very small to be used for a medicinal irradiation.
What substance was used to treat the radish seeds for the lab radical radishes?
Radioactive cobalt-60 apex
What is the Heaviest isotope of cobalt?
The only natural isotope of Cobalt is Cobalt-59.
When was cobalt made?
If you are talking about Cobalt-60 being "found" it was in 1938 by Seaborg and Livingood. But Cobalt has been used throughout all history.
How many mg of Cobalt-60 are used in one treatment for Chemo-therapy?
Cobalt-60 is not a chemotherapy agent, it is powerful gamma ray emitter used in old generation radiotherapyequipments.
How much cobalt will remain in the rock after 21.2 years?
This seems to refer to radioactive decay. The answer would depend on the isotope of cobalt used! For example, cobalt-59 is stable, so in this case, all of the original cobalt would remain.For more information, check the Wikipedia article entitled "Isotopes of cobalt".
Compound of cobalt and uses?
Lithium cobalt oxide is used in lithium ion batteries, cobalt aluminate as blue pigment for glass, cobalt caboxylates as catalysts; cobalt-60 is a strong gamma ray source.
What has 27 protons and 33 neutrons?
An element with 27 protons is cobalt (Co), which has an atomic number of 27. If it has 33 neutrons, this specific isotope is cobalt-60 (Co-60). Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope commonly used in medical treatments and industrial applications.
Can cobalt help animals?
it helps in oncology, i.e study of cancer and tumors, AND cobalt-60 is used in treatment of cancer and tumors.
Is cobalt 60 natural?
No, cobalt-60 is a synthetic radioactive isotope of cobalt. It is produced by bombarding stable cobalt-59 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
What is the half-life of Cobalt-60?
The half-life of Cobalt-60 is about 5.27 years. This means that in this time, half of the original amount of Cobalt-60 will have decayed into other elements. It is commonly used in medical and industrial applications due to its radioactive properties.
