Best Answer

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).

59Co is the naturally occurring isotope of Cobalt, having 27 electrons, 27 protons, and 32 neutrons. Co+2 has given away 2 electrons.

Cobalt's atomic number, and thus its number of protons is 27. To be electrically neutral then, it must also have 27 electrons. 59Co is its only stable isotope which has 59 - 27 = 32 neutrons.

Cobalt has 27 protons, therefore it was 27 neutrons because it is not an isotope, and 24 electrons because it has a positive charge of 3 e.

Nitrogen gas and CO have equal number of neutron proton and electron Why?

ok N has 14 protons and electrons. C has 12 protons and electrons. O has 16 protons and electrons. nitrogen gas is not N, it is N2, which means 28 protons and electrons. C and O added up is also 28.


What is the chemical for the ion with 29 protons and 27 electrons?

It would end up answering with Cobalt = Co. Because the protons stay the same and add the protons and electrons together equaling 59. So (Co+2) would be the final answer.

What is the charge of the ion with 27 protons and 25 electrons?

An ion of copper, Cu+2, has 27 electrons and a charge of +2. The copper atom has loaned out (or had borrowed from it) in a chemical reaction, those 2 electrons. An ion is formed any time the number of electrons an atom has does not equal the number of protons in its nucleus. The 2 electrons plus 27 electrons makes 29 electrons - just the number that are present in a neutral atom of copper.
