How many neutrons does a cobalt-60 atom have?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Firstly, cobalt-60 is an isotope.

Cobalt is element 27, so it has 27 protons.

And since you are inquiring about the isotope Cobalt 60, then it has

60 - 27 = 33 neutrons.

Protons= 27

Neutrons=33

Answer 3

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)

Answer 4

There are 27 protons in every cobalt atom.

Answer 5

Cobalt - 60 has 33 neutrons!!(60Co)

Answer 6

32 neutrons in cobalt-60

Answer 7

27 protons and 33 neutrons.

Answer 8

27 protons, 27 electrons, 33 neutrons

Answer 9

27
