  • question_answer
    \[_{27}C{{o}^{60}}\]is radioactive because:

    A)  its atomic number is high

    B)  it has high\[\frac{p}{n}\]ratio

    C)  it has high\[\frac{n}{p}\]ratio

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[_{27}^{60}Co\]is radioactive and unstable due to high\[\frac{n}{p}\]ratio, \[\left( i.e.,,\frac{n}{p}>1 \right)\] Number of proton = 27 Number of neutron =33 \[\therefore \] \[\frac{n}{p}\]from \[_{27}^{60}Co=\frac{33}{27}=1.22\]
