Ninety-six Planck cold dust clumps in the second quadrant were mapped with ¹²CO (1-0), ¹³CO (1-0), and C¹⁸O (1-0) lines at the 13.7 m telescope of Purple Mountain Observatory. ¹²CO (1-0) and ¹³CO (1-0) emissions were detected for all 96 clumps, while C¹⁸O (1-0) emissions were detected in 81 of them. Fifteen clumps have more than one velocity component. In the 115 mapped velocity components, 225 cores were obtained. We found that 23.1% of the cores have non-Gaussian profiles. We acquired the V_lsr, FWHM, and T_ A_ of the lines. Distances, T_ex, velocity dispersions, {N}_{{
H}{2}} , and masses were also derived. Generally, turbulence may dominant the cores because σ_NT/ σ_Therm\gt 1 in almost all of the cores and Larson's relationship is not apparent in our massive cores. Virial parameters are adopted to test the gravitational stability of cores and 51% of the cores are likely collapsing. The core mass function of the cores in the range 0-1 kpc suggests a low core-to-star conversional efficiency (0.62%). Only 14 of 225 cores (6.2%) have associated stellar objects at their centers, while the others are starless. The morphologies of clumps are mainly filamentary structures. Seven clumps may be located on an extension of the new spiral arm in the second quadrant while three are on the known outer arm.
