The parent isotope is cobalt-59 (see the picture below).
The mass number is 59 and atomic number is 27 of the parent isotope.
Neutron activation is the process in which atomic nucleus capture free neutron or neutrons.
Cobalt-60 is produced in nuclear reactors in process of neutron activation from parent isotope cobalt-59 (see the picture below).
Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons and mass number (A) is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
Cobalt-59 and cobalt-60 are the isotopes of chemical element cobalt.
Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number (Z), but different mass number (different number of neutrons).

Explanation:
the quantity of energy that an isolated, gaseous atom in the ground electronic state must absorb to discharge an electron, resulting in a cation.
Balancing of chemical equation is essential because of the law of conservation of mass, which states that the mass of a system can not be created or removed.
The second equation is balanced
This is because the number of elements of each atom in the product side equal the number of elements of each atom on the reactant side.
The first equation is not balanced
This is because there is 1 molecule of 
on reactant side as compared to 3 molecules of
To balance the equation we add a coefficient of 3 on sulphuric acid (
) and a coefficient of 3 on hydrogen (
)
Answer:
b) Delta S < 0
Explanation:
The change in the entropy (ΔS) is related to the change in the number of gaseous moles of the reaction: Δn(g) = n(g, products) - n(g, reactants).
- If Δn(g) > 0, the entropy increases (ΔS > 0).
- If Δn(g) < 0, the entropy decreases (ΔS < 0).
- If Δn(g) = 0, there is little or no change in the entropy
Let's consider the following equation.
2 H₂S(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g)
Δn(g) = 2 - 5 = - 3. Since Δn(g) < 0, the entropy decreases and ΔS < 0.
