The radioactive isotope 2760Co{ }_{27}^{60} \mathrm{Co} which is used in the treatment of cancer can be made by (n,p)(n, p) reaction. For this reaction the target nucleus is:

Options

  1. A2859Ni{ }_{28}^{59} \mathrm{Ni}
  2. B2759Co{ }_{27}^{59} \mathrm{Co}
  3. C2860Ni{ }_{28}^{60} \mathrm{Ni}
  4. D2760Co{ }_{27}^{60} \mathrm{Co}

Correct answer

C. 2860Ni{ }_{28}^{60} \mathrm{Ni}

Step-by-step solution

2860Ni+0n1⟶2760Co+11P{ }_{28}^{60} \mathrm{Ni}+{ }_0 n^1 \longrightarrow{ }_{27}^{60} \mathrm{Co}+{ }_1^1 \mathrm{P} Related Theory Cobalt therapy is the medical use of gamma rays from the radioisotope cobalt-60 to treat cancer. Caution (n,p)(n, p) means that neutron attacks and proton liberated respectively.
