Melting

Melting is a change in property of matter from solid to liquid

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Thus, there are fundamentally three types of matter which is solid liquid and gas. But why do gases and liquids diffuse and not solids? It is because of the molecular structure of these components of matter. If we examine the molecular structure of gas the molecules are highly scattered and liquid has also almost the same structure as mediocrely scattered that these particles can easily slip through other substances unlike solid which is entirely intact. <span> </span>

Cobalt-60 is produced by neutron activation. in this process, one neutron is absorbed by the nucleus of the parent isotope. what

kkurt [141]

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).
