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 are isotopes and the number of electrons related?
Before we tackle isotopes and neutrons, lets talk about protons. The number of protons in an atom determines the elemental identity of the atom. Only that. Now to the question. Atoms of a given element have a specific number of protons in the nucleus, but can have a modest variety of numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. Let's look at hydrogen. Hydrogen is identified by the fact that there is a single proton in the nucleus. Most hydrogen is just that. But some hydrogen has a neutron stuck to the one proton in the nucleus. This creates another "flavor" of hydrogen. It's another isotope of hydrogen. We have the original isotope of hydrogen (with one proton and no neutron) and the isotope with the one proton and one neutron. Now we look at the last and most unusual isotope of hydrogen. It has the one proton and two neutrons. Hydrogen has three isotopes, and each has the same number of protons (each isotope is hydrogen) and each has a different number of neutrons: zero, one and two. Heavier elements have varying numbers of neutrons in combinations with there protons. This creates a number of different isotopes for each and every element. It is the variable numbers of neutrons that can hang out with the protons in a given element's nucleus that give rise to the different isotopes of that element. Our friends at Wikipedia have some details. A link is provided.
Objects that are not attracted by magnet?
Anything that doesnt contain the element's Iron,Cobalt or Nickel
What is the atomic wheight of cobalt?
Cobalt is a meta element. Atomic mass of it is 59.
How are iron cobalt and nickel different?
The different forms of an element are called isotopes. Each isotope has the same number of protons in its nucleus, but differing numbers of neutrons. This difference causes an instability in the nucleus and leads to some of them breaking down into other elements and emitting radiation (called radioactive decay). Cobalt has only one natural isotope, 50Co, which is completely stable. All others are produced by neutron bombardment in a reactor. These others are very radioactive and are used as gamma ray sources in quite a few industries and systems.
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 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.
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 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)
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 mass number of an atom containing a 27 protons 27 electrons and 32 neutrons?
The mass number is 59; this element s cobalt.
The atomic masses of two isotopes of cobalt are 59 and 60 what is the number of protons and neutrons in each?
The atomic masses of two isotopes of cobalt are 59 and 60. What is the number of protons in each?
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.
How many neutrons protons and electrons does one nucleus of cobalt have?
27 protons, 32 neutrons, 0 electrons.There are no electrons in the nucleus, they are in the orbitals surrounding the nucleus.
How many Protons and neutrons in Co?
27number of protons is the same as the atomic number.
How many electrons and neutrons are in cobolt?
Cobalt is a metal element. There are 27 electrons in a single atom.
