If the atom of Cobalt is neutral, it's amount of electrons will be the same as the number of protons. The number of protons in the atom is the same as the mass number (the number you see on the Periodic Table). However, if it is not a neutral atom, there could be an infinite amount of possibilities.
The above answer is true in that the number of electrons of an element will normally equal the number of protons. However, it is the atomic number, not the mass number, that tells you the number of protons (and, therefore, electrons) in a single atom of an element. The atomic number of Cobalt is 27, therefore 27 protons, 27 electrons.
Its average atomic weight is 58.9 which is the combined weight of its protons and neutrons - all other sub-atomic particles such as electrons are presumed to weigh nothing, or nearly so.
Cobalt has many isotopes, of which Co58 is one, but each will have the same number of protons and electrons. They will differ in atomic weight due to a difference in the number of neutrons.

Is cobalt 16 electron or 18 electron in cobalt salen?
Neithr!!! An atom of Cobalt contains 27 electrons.
How many electrons are found in the outer shell of cobalt?
the outer shell of cobalt contains 9 electrons.
What is the ground-state electron configuration of a neutral atom of cobalt?
[Ar] 4s2 3d7
The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
How many unpaired electrons are in an atom of cobalt in its ground state?
1 number of unpaired electron.
Is cobalt 16 electron or 18 electron in cobalt salen?
Neithr!!! An atom of Cobalt contains 27 electrons.
How many electrons are found in the outer shell of cobalt?
the outer shell of cobalt contains 9 electrons.
Where could an electron be found in a atom?
In an electron cloud, which a probability range circling around the atom. Due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, both an electron's location and speed can not be known at the same time. Therefore, a range is created.
What is the ground-state electron configuration of a neutral atom of cobalt?
[Ar] 4s2 3d7
What part of the atom is in the electron shell?
The electrons are found in the electron shells
What are the electron found in an atom?
Inside the atom, revolving around the nucleus
What is found in the electron clound of an atom?
Electrons.
Found in an atom that starts with an e?
electron
The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
A word found in an atom that starts with the letter e?
Electrons
What is an electron in an atom?
Electron is a negatively (-) charged particle found in a atom. Unlike proton and neutron, electron is found in orbital shells of atom, but not in nucleus. Electron are very small that is why they don't contribute to the atomic mass of a element. Electron are responsible for forming ions and take part in chemical reaction.
What is the difference between a proton an electron and a neutron and where can they be found?
a proton is a positively charged particle that is found in the nucleus of an atom, a neutron is a particle that has no charge and is also found in the nucleus of an atom, an electron is a negatively charged atom that is constantly circling the nucleus of an atom.
