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.
Cobalt (Co) has the common form of cobalt 60, ie its atomic mass is 60. Its atomic number is 27. Atomic mass is made up of protons and neutrons. Atomic number is number of protons. Hence number of neutrons is 60 - 27 = 33/
Mass number!:)
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
20. the mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of neutrons and protons the atom has.
60
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.
The number of neutrons in any element is equal to mass number - atomic number. So,number of neutrons in cobalt is = 58 - 27 = 32. therefore, number of neutrons in cobalt is 32.
The mass number is 59; this element s cobalt.

Cobalt has 27 protons. If its mass number is fifty-three, then the number of neutrons corresponds to the mass no. - the proton no: 53 - 27 = 26.
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)
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
No, neutrons + protons = mass
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
