The radioactive isotope ₂₇⁶⁰ Co which is used in the treatment of cancer can be made by (n, p) reaction. For this reaction the target nucleus is:

Options

  1. A₂₈⁵⁹ Ni
  2. B₂₇⁵⁹ Co
  3. C₂₈⁶⁰ Ni
  4. D₂₇⁶⁰ Co

Correct answer

C. ₂₈⁶⁰ Ni

Step-by-step solution

₂₈⁶⁰ Ni + ₀ n^1 ₂₇⁶⁰ Co + ₁^1 P Related Theory Cobalt therapy is the medical use of gamma rays from the radioisotope cobalt-60 to treat cancer. Caution (n, p) means that neutron attacks and proton liberated respectively.
