Cobalt, definitely. Neon is one of the Noble/Inert Gases which make up the 18th family of the Periodic Table. The reason that they are given this name is because they are the least reactive group of elements in existence. This is because they have a perfect octet, meaning that they have 8 valence electrons, thus filling the outer orbitals. Valence electrons are the electrons that interact with other atoms whenever a chemical bond is formed. Since having a full set of 8 valence electrons is incredibly stable, the electrons really don't want to leave the nucleus of the atom they are orbiting, and therefore the atom will not react. Most chemical reactions occur as the atoms seek to achieve a perfect octet.
Cobalt is a transition metal, and while they are not well known for being highly reactive, they are more reactive than any of the Noble Gases.

Is lithium or Neon more reactive?
Lithium is more reactive than Neon.
Which is more active neon or nitrogen?
nitrogen is more reactive. neon has completely filled orbitals and is hence stable and unreactive.
Which is more reactive neon or sodium?
i think sodium but im not 100 percent sure
Can copper sulphate replace cobalt chloride in replacement reaction?
no because cobal is more reactive than copper
What is the least reactive element?
The noble gases: Helium, neon, etc.
Which metal is more reactive titanium or cobalt?
Titanium is more chemically reactive than cobalt.
Is lithium or Neon more reactive?
Lithium is more reactive than Neon.
How reactive is cobalt?
zinc is more reactive and is higher in the reactivity series.
Which is more reactive lithium in group 1 or neon in group 18?
neon is a noble gas that will not react with anything -- any other element except helium is more reactive than neon! With lithium, quite a reactive metal, it is certainly more reactive than neon.
Which is more active neon or nitrogen?
nitrogen is more reactive. neon has completely filled orbitals and is hence stable and unreactive.
Is chlorine more reactive than neon?
Yes, Neon is a noble gas (its outer shell of electrons is full) and does not react with anything, while Chlorine is a halide and is very reactive.
What is cobalt reactive to?
Coler was here
What are the most reactive element out of neon argon and helium?
They are both noble gases. Neon is more reactive than Argon because it has a smaller radius, therefore its electrons are closer to the nucleus
How chemiclly active is neon?
Neon is not reactive. It is inert.
Which metal is more reactive neon or copper?
Neon is not even a metal! It is a noble gas, so relatively unreactive. Copper is a moderatly unreactive metal, more reactive metals include pottassium, sodium, zinc & iron.
How reactive is neon?
It is not reactive at all. It will not combine with other elements.
Which is more reactive neon or sodium?
i think sodium but im not 100 percent sure
