For cobalt 60 Part 2: Predict Your Isotope’s Properties In this part, you will reference and discuss the model you created in Part 1 to predict and explain the properties of your chosen isotope. Be sure to thoroughly explain why your isotope has the properties it has with specific information and detail of the atomic structure. You may present the following information in a format of your choosing (essay, PowerPoint, T-table, Venn diagram, etc. Feel free to be creative). Use the following document for examples and suggestions on ways you can present this project and projects in the future. For help with choosing presentation software, see Presentation Software Tools under Resources in the Course Overview and Introduction section of your course. Reference and discuss your model to explain how the atomic structure of your chosen isotope accounts for: 2 of the isotope’s periodic trends (atomic radius/ionic radius, electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity) The isotope’s electronic stability The isotope’s emission spectrum The isotope’s nuclear stability The isotope’s radioactive decay As you construct and revise your explanations, be sure to keep in mind how the structure of the electron cloud and/or the nucleus contributes to each of these properties. Use the information you have learned in Units 2 and 3 (lessons, videos, graphs, images, etc.) to complete and support your work.
