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.
What does the 60 represent in Co-60?
The "60" in Co-60 represents the atomic mass number of the cobalt isotope. It indicates that the cobalt nucleus contains 60 protons and neutrons combined.
What is the mass number of Co-60?
Cobalt is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 58.
How many neutrons are in colbalt 60?
Cobalt (Co) has the common form of cobalt 60, ie its atomic mass is 60. Its atomic number is 27. Atomic mass is made up of protons and neutrons. Atomic number is number of protons. Hence number of neutrons is 60 - 27 = 33/
What is the structural difference between Cobalt-60 and the other Cobalts?
A number following an element, such as cobalt-60, tells us that a specific isomer of that element is being referenced. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. All cobalt atoms will have the same amount of protons, 27, because that is what makes it cobalt, however they can have a different amount of neutrons. The mass number is the number following the element's name and it tells us the total of both protons and neutrons in the nucleus. By subtracting the 27 protons in cobalt from the mass number of the isotope we find that cobalt-60 has 33 neutrons while cobalt-59 has 32 neutrons. This means that the structural difference between cobalt-60 and other isotopes of cobalt is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Another fun fact: Cobalt-60 is the radioactive isotope commonly used in radiation therapy for cancer.
What is the average cost of a set of Cobalt Rims?
The average cost of a set of rims for a Cobalt would cost you around an average of $300-$600 depending on which rims your prefer. There are different brands as well as different sizes for the rims.
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.
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?
Cobalt-60 has an 1/2 life of 5.24 years
How is cobalt 60 and cobalt 59 the same element but have different mass numbers?
Cobalt 60 has an extra neutron buit that does not affect chemical properties
What is the equation for transmutation of cobalt?
Cobalt-60 decay to nickel-60:Co-60------------Ni-60 + 1 electron + 1 neutrino + gamma rays
What is the average cost of roses?
The average cost of roses are usually $30-$60 per dozen
How much does a Chevy Cobalt ss cost?
The average price for a Chevy Cobalt SS in excellent condition with 23,500 miles is about $19,500. The retail value of the vehicle is about $24,000.
What is the Heaviest isotope of cobalt?
The only natural isotope of Cobalt is Cobalt-59.
Is cobalt-60 suitable for treatment?
Cobalt 60 is a very valuable radiation source for the treaments of many types of cancers.
How many neutrons does a cobalt-60 atom have?
Since cobalt has an atomic number of 27, any isotope of it contains 27 protons and 27 electrons per atom. The isotope with mass number 60 contains (60 - 27) or 33 neutrons per atom.
When was cobalt 60 invented?
Tuesday
