When you talk about an isotope, the number that follows the element name is the number of neutrons. So, 27 neutrons. Every cobalt has 27 protons. If the number of protons were to change (which doesn't happen naturally), then it would no longer be cobalt. Having the same number of protons as neutrons, however, would not make this an isotope. What you are talking about is normal cobalt.

∙ 12y agoThis is cobalt-39. The number 27 on the bottom left of cobalt's symbol, Co, is its atomic number. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of cobalt atoms. In a neutral atom of cobalt, the numbers of protons and electrons are equal. Therefore, the number of electrons present in a neutral atom of cobalt is 27.

What are the number of electrons in a chlorine atom?
Chlorine, atomic number 17, has 17 protons. So an uncharged atom has 17 electrons.But when Chlorine takes on 1 electron, which often happens in ionic bonds, it has 18 electrons, which fills the outer shell of electrons.
How many neutrons would an aluminum atom have?
In the Periodic Table aluminium is described as [27/13]Al 27 is the atomic mass ; the total of all the neutrons protons (nucleons) 13 is the atomic number ; the total of all the protons in the nucleus. Hencethe total neutrons is the mass subtracted from the number. 27 - 13 = 14 is the total number of neutrons in aluminium.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in the isotope 52Mn?
The symbol Mn indicates a manganese atom, which always has 25 protons. The electroneutrality required for any atom requires the presence of 25 electrons to balance the electrical charge of the 25 protons. The mass number, 52 in this instances, is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons. Therefore, the number of neutrons in the isotope is 52 - 25 or 27.
What part of an atom is not used in calculating the mass number?
All parts of the atom weigh something but when doing calculations electrons are said to have a mass of 0. This is because they actually have a mass of 1/1836 amu which is insignificantly small and so it is disregarded.
An aluminum isotope consists of 13 protons 13 electrons and 14 neutrons It's mass number is what?
Mass number = proton number + neutron number SO, Mass number(Aluminium) = 13+ 14 =27
Total no of electrons in co?
The neutral atom has 27 electrons.
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
What is the total contents of an atom with an atomic number of 27?
The cobalt neutral atom (57Co) contain 25 protons, 25 electrons and 32 neutrons.
How many electrons and protons does Cobalt have?
The neutral atom of cobalt has 27 electrons. The number can vary up or down depending on the chemistry of the sample of cobalt. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the element cobalt.
A certain atom has 27 protons 27 electrons and 33 neutrons Its mass number is?
Mass Number= 33+27=60
How many protons does an atom of Co-60 have?
An atom of Co-60 has 27 protons since Cobalt (Co) has an atomic number of 27.
What is the mass number of an atom containing a 27 protons 27 electrons and 32 neutrons?
The mass number is 59; this element s cobalt.
What is the atomic symbol atomic number and atomic mass of an atom that has 27 protons 27 neutrons and 27 electrons?
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons, so this atom has an atomic number of 27, which makes it cobalt, with the symbol Co. The isotope of cobalt that contains 27 protons and 27 neutrons has a mass number of 54, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.
How many protons electrons neutrons does Cobalt 60 have?
Cobalt-60 has 27 protons, (Cobalt has an atomic number of 27) 33 neutrons (mass number less atomic number) 27 electrons in the neutral atom (balancing the charge of the 27 protons)
How many electrons does an atom of copper have?
Copper is a metal element. There are 27 electrons in a single atom.
How many neutrons does a cobalt-60 atom have?
Since cobalt has an atomic number of 27, any isotope of it contains 27 protons and 27 electrons per atom. The isotope with mass number 60 contains (60 - 27) or 33 neutrons per atom.
How many protons nutrons and electrons are in cobalt?
Depends on how detailed you want to get. If we are talking about basic protons, electrons, and neutrons: p: 27 e: 27 n: 32 This is assuming that we are dealing with the most common of Cobalt isotope. We can also get even more detailed if you want to look at quarks and leptons.
