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.
27 protons are the number above the symbols
mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 27 + 32 = 59
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.
The atomic masses of two isotopes of cobalt are 59 and 60. What is the number of protons in each?
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).
27 protons are the number above the symbols
mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 27 + 32 = 59
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.
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.
27 protons, 32 neutrons, 0 electrons.There are no electrons in the nucleus, they are in the orbitals surrounding the nucleus.
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.
13 protons and 14 neutrons
31 protons, 32 neutrons and 28 electrons
The atomic masses of two isotopes of cobalt are 59 and 60. What is the number of protons in each?
The mass number is 59; this element s cobalt.
Well phosphorous always has 15 protons and even in different isotopes of an element the proton (atomic) number will be the same..So even in phosphorous-32, there are 15 protons.. If it is phosphorous-32 then the total of the protons and the neutrons is 32.. 15 protons...So to get the number of neutrons do 32 minus 15 = 7 neutrons.. Just to note, the number of electrons is of course the same as the number of protons so it is 15
26 is the atomic mass because the number of protons and neutrons together = atomic mass
