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).

How can you tell if both crops of crystals are your product? Why would additional solid precipitate in your filtrate?
Leto [7]

Crops of the crystals are a part of the same crystal which might have different chemical structures leading to different colors.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Crops of the crystals are the parts of the crystals. And even being a part of the same crystal, the crops of the crystals can have different colors from the other crops of the crystal.

The color of crops of crystals are dictated by the chemical structure and their physical characteristic (crystalline or formless). The shape and the size of its crystalline structure, likewise the chance of polymorphism, may impact its shading.

element q reacts with dilute acids but not with cold water . element r does not react with dilute acids . element s displaces p
masya89 [10]

Answer:

s<p<q<r

Explanation:

Given

Element s displaces p from its oxide. Thus, s is more reactive that p

p reacts with cold water  but element q cannot react with cold water. Thus,

p is more reactive than q

Element q is able to react with weak or dilute acids but element r in unable to react with weak or dilute acids. Thus, q is more reactive that r

The order of four elements on the basis of their reactivity in descending order is as follows

s<p<q<r
