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 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 more protons does francium have in its nucleus than cobalt?
Cobalt has 27 protons and francium has 87 protons; 87-27=60.
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.
What element has 27 protons-?
The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Cobalt is the element with 27 protons. Cobalt is a d block metal.
Where are the protons of cobalt located Where are the neutrons located Where are the electrons located?
The protons and neutrons of cobalt just like any other element are located in the nucleus whereas the electrons are located in the energy shells.
How many protons does cobalt have?
27 protons are the number above the symbols
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 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 and neutrons in Co?
27number of protons is the same as the atomic number.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in the element cobalt?
There are 21 electrons and protons in the element Cobalt, and there are 58.933195 neutrons or 36.933195. If your working on a project and your in elementary or middle school you are very smart.Well Done. -Emily (5th Grader)
How many protons and electrons are present in Co 2?
Cobalt (Co) has the atomic number 27; therefore, all neutral isotopes of cobalt have each 27 electrons. Stable cobalt exists only as Co-59 (with 32 neutrons); however, at least 28 radioisotopes of cobalt have been identified, ranging from Co-47 (with 20 neutrons) to Co-75 (with 48 neutrons).
What is the structural difference between Cobalt-60 and the other Cobalts?
A number following an element, such as cobalt-60, tells us that a specific isomer of that element is being referenced. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. All cobalt atoms will have the same amount of protons, 27, because that is what makes it cobalt, however they can have a different amount of neutrons. The mass number is the number following the element's name and it tells us the total of both protons and neutrons in the nucleus. By subtracting the 27 protons in cobalt from the mass number of the isotope we find that cobalt-60 has 33 neutrons while cobalt-59 has 32 neutrons. This means that the structural difference between cobalt-60 and other isotopes of cobalt is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Another fun fact: Cobalt-60 is the radioactive isotope commonly used in radiation therapy for cancer.
What has 27 protons and 32 neutrons?
The element cobalt has 27 protons. Since the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in your particular question is 59, the answer to what has 27 protons and 32 neutrons is the particular isotope of cobalt labeled 59Co. This is cobalt's only stable isotope.
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.
What is the total number of electrons in an atom of 27 Co?
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.
How can cobalt-59 and cobalt-60 be the same element but have different mass numbers?
They have different numbers of neutrons. An element is all of the atoms that have the same number of protons, but the the number of neutrons and electrons may vary.
